 
			Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
The Love You Showed
- The love You showed at Calvary is love here still today
 Although the pain and history seem to be far away;
 The trials of suburban life, of work and neighbourhood,
 Hardly seem fitting subjects for the shedding of Your blood.
- And yet behind the bland facade our turmoils are extreme,
 Of how we can transform our lives to match the things we dream;
 Of how we can resist the urge to cross the moral line
 Or move the line itself because we hate it to confine.
- But, most of all, we need Your love expressed in its wild grace
 Because it lifts us up to being a moral, loving race;
 And, as You gave Your human life that we might live in You,
 Our love returned with all our heart is human and is true.
