Hat tip to the late, great Kingsway church.
If we wish to clean
This world like a broom
We first need to be
Adults In The Room [AITR]
When passions inflame
And voices are loud
We need those who rise
Far above the crowd
To take the high road
And absorb our fear
So all sides feel safe
To once more draw near
Yet all that is but
One stage of two
That saving the world
Demands that we do
For all of that power
We used to calm rage
Must then be laid down
As Child On A Stage [COTS]
Maturity shown
In dark secrecy
In public is seen
As vulnerability
Teaching those we serve
To not be afraid
Demands that they see
Our own fears displayed
They also must trust
The strength that we wield
Will never be used
To hide behind shield
For what we want most
Is not “them dependent”
But that they like us
Become “heaven sent”
Today I will neither keep nor release my darlings
But send them
As Christ
Radically Happy
