Approaching Lent
The need to repent
Can resound in our sense of our need to prepare
For Easter, but do we dare
To see, that suffering can be

Christ’s way of enabling us to come close to him
For suffering is not so much about sin
But the reality that by suffering
Christ was entering 
Into our lives, for he knows, the blows

Life entails and so we can see our suffering as a way
That Christ can say
You are carrying the cross with me and now I know my life was not about loss
For you are very close to me when you share my pain
And know that your life will share the gain

And as in suffering you are able to know me more intimately
And thereby you are more able to become one
With God’s only son
And he treasures this opportunity
To help you enter the mystery

Of God’s promise of salvation and participate in the revelation
Of God’s gift of grace leaves no place
He cannot use for he will never abuse
His precious people for he longs to be able to share
And to know we too dare

To draw near banishing our fear
For he is our all
The reality of the fall
Has been overcome and we have begun
To live in the light of his love, even in our darkest night

 God is a true friend and as you carry the cross there is no end
To what he can do as you embrace his will
For he will never allow what is ill
For he knows and in carrying his cross
With him, we declare his pain was not about loss

And remember he asked his disciples if they too could walk with him
And as we do, come what may  his life in us can begin
For the seeds have been sewn and we may own
Salvation as our very own
Knowing our God alone can and does atone
