Lord Jesus, you and your followers
have been eyes to the blind,
and feet to the lame;
You have been father to the needy
and have championed the
cause of the stranger.
And yet you have been mistreated,
received stones and taunts,
"Where is your God?"
When tears have been our food,
remind us of your answer
to that very question.
