7th Sunday after Epiphany Mark 1:40-45
Standing alone
in the far off corner of the world
stood
the messiah
The Chosen one
Who
Would lead the people on to
a newness
beyond
their ability to see
and yet standing there
with the hurting ones
(if it be your will)
who saw
if even for a brief moment
a wonder
in this one called Jesus
(you)
who in the powerlessness of humanity
Shattered
(can make)
the chains of those who could see them
the chains visible
in the sores and blood
the rejection and death
(me clean)
of all
but seen only by the many
who hurt enough to care
or cared enough to hurt
and be made whole again
by the grace of God
among us
and the void that was filled
in the lives
made empty
spread
(it is my will)
to all the land
and people
and time
with the message
(be clean)
that the Christ was here
