Lenten Poem by Ann Weems Lent is a time to take
time to let the power
of our faith story take
hold of us, a time to let the events
get up and walk around
in us, a time to intensify our
living unto Christ, a time to hover over the
thoughts of our hearts, a time to place our feet
in the streets of
Jerusalem or to walk
along the sea and
listen to his Word, a time to touch his robe
and feel the healing
surge through us, a time to ponder and a time to wonder…. Lent is a time to allow
a fresh new taste of
God! Perhaps we’re afraid to
have time to think,
for thoughts come
unbidden. Perhaps we’re afraid to
face our future
knowing our past. Give us courage,
O God,
to hear your Word
and to read our living
into it. Give us the trust to know
we’re forgiven
and give us the faith
to take up our lives and
walk. |
