Save our God

Hand upturned
How touching  we are when offered up

The word God evokes many different feelings;

not just in a cross section of the world’s people

but in me.

From fear and hate to  indifference

To Love

That sacrifices itself for humanity.

What shall we make of it?

How shall we live with it

Oh,Queen,save our God.
