The tragedy of tragedies

We’re taught that violence wins -

That blood of Jesus is God’s plan

To wash away our sins.

We do not need more blood to flow

To feel the strength of grace;

Acceptance flows from God’s own heart;

A deep profound embrace.

Can we accept a world where grace

Is always freely given?

A world that Jesus dreamt about

Where sin is just forgiven.

There is no need for sacrifice

To pay a price for sin;

Forgiveness, mercy, grace occurs

When love abides within.
