Running Away from the Way

Jesus
We use Him.
We use Him
for his
Body.

For the
pleasure
it gives
us
as we
utter
sweet words
from our
mouths

For the
power
we feel
as
we mount
the Gospel
to conquer
and condemn

For the
comfort
we know
as we
come
hurting
and lonely
longing
for touch

Then
he says
my Body
broken for
you
Take up
Your Cross
and Follow

We scatter
in fear
we deny
in the courtyard
we sell
His Body
for silver coin
We use
Jesus
for His
Body
