In Western nations civilised, insane

From the vulnerable God. this Jesus came
To know and love his creatures here on earth
He has no power; he shares our human pain

The tortured, weak and lost are his, he claims.
For he has suffered, died  without much worth
From the vulnerable God. a Christ has come

In silence and despair and shattered dreams
The souls of those who torture  negates birth
Not all powerful,  yet god shares our pain

While in the nations civilised, insane
Our  greed, our lies, our cruelty are a curse
Through a wounded God. a good man  came

In certain states of mind, prayer has no aim
Deep within the dark, hope comes to birth
God is with us, voiceless  burning, maimed

Cain and Abel, brothers  linked  by death
Today, that murder rises, is surpassed
From the broken god., this Jesus came
Human, suffering,  he too feels this pain.
