As long as we breathe

A chance to make it right.
Breaking free from prejudice

and the cost of glances that cast me out

Religion an Idol that stole my name.

Mercy covers me despite the fame

Denial leaves me on the floor again

Promises that covenant can't lose.

And how can we trust what we feel

In a world which teaches us shame.

Love was intended to heal

the things that break us

are the things that make us

wielded in fire

A hinge , a tool

to break injustice into peace.

Abandoned in this place of forgiveness and grace.

The ministry of reconciliation advanced on Earth

Sacrifice my needing to honor the King above.

In a time of judgment and war.

Faith springs forth justice.

A place at the mercy seat.

In the pit I find my maker's face.
