O God, deliver us from the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, because the sin of the world is our heart’s desire, our uniform, our derby hat. O Lamb of God, have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us.
Frederick Buechner, Secrets in the Dark: A Life in Sermons, “Air for Two Voices”
Unpopular, this.
Too often too true.
After we do our God thing
(or not)
And get down to the business
Of doing Our thing
God doesn’t have a ticket,
The bouncer at the door explaining
It’s sold out.
Grace and peace to us all…
