Lent 7: Luke 11: 29 - 32

Asking for a sign

There is only one way through to glory-grace

Faith’s satisfaction on glad eagle wings,

Green pastures of abundance for the heart.

There is only one way.

There is only one way for the pilgrim path:

Humility, relinquishment and trust

Dressed in their foreign garb must be let in

There is only one way.

There is only one way: up a lonely hill

To kneel there where the One who died for me

Stretches his arms in blessing to the world.

There is only one way.

There is only one way through death into life

To yield the clamorous me, to be content

With the long silences between great words.

There is only one way.

There is only one way home, to know Him who

Is all my refuge and my hiding place

To rest for now, forever in his grace.

There is only one way.
