Through Mud and Water

Son of Man
like Wisdom herself
You seek us out
we who are deaf and blind
to reshape us
in the mud of new creation
to be washed in the waters of the Sent One.


This reckless dispensation of mercy You offer
reconnects us to the Life Source itself
Through mud and water
we are made whole again
able to see again
the uncreated light dwelling within all
even our imperfect selves.


Through mud and water
You send us out on mission
to tell the simple truth
that an injustice to one
is an injustice to all.


So let us ring the bells
that still can ring
forget your perfect offerings
for there is a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in
that's how the light gets out
shines.
