Ezekiel 16



Is it that you have some
Memories gone wrong
Times the Church betrayed you
Couldn't get along
Form and dictate rigid
Services too tight
While you sat there aching
In some private night.
Where the love of Jesus
One who shares the yoke?
Kindly ears that listen
Answers through the smoke.
Hands and words to offer
Kind paths for the feet
Power lifting burdens
Compassion oh so mete.
Jesus enter this house
Make it yours once more
Haven for all hurting
As it was before.
Jude it was who penned it
We still have a fight
Holding to the ONE FAITH
Wrapped in timeless Light. (Jude vv.2-4)
