Communion of need
In all of creation there is
equality-
we are all born in bondage
and we need to be free
We are all bound together in
our life as in death,
We have all things in common
til we draw our last breath
We are born then we pass into
eternity and were held to account for our days
We are given a light and
possibility to come to the source and to light up our ways
For dead men need life
before they begin to have pardon for guilt and redemption's release
Then the power to live and
freedom from sin, love and acceptance and purpose and peace
But for the grace that
created the means, to know faith and find hope in impossible scenes
Trials and labor and
reproaches an loss
All find their meaning in the
light of the Cross
We are all needy people, in
this way we are one and we all only hve the one hope of the Son
We are all then united in the
bonds of our need and we all can come to Jesus to be freed.
For dead men need life
before they begin to have pardon for guilt and redemption's release
Then the power to live and
freedom from sin, love and acceptance and purpose and peace
