Jesus Reserved For Sunday

The bread and the wine held me in captivity
When I was young
Caused many tears,
Caused grief
My love for Jesus was so intense.

This intensity for Jesus has never ceased.
It comes out in a different way now,
In other settings,
In my job

Whereas when I was young
I reserved Jesus for Sunday,
inside one building, for I thought he was there 
and only there.

Now I know it is safe to
believe in Him everywhere.
