You want to know

After Isaiah 58:1-12

You want to know

my ways

     Shout it

You seek me out

     Shout it

You ask me for justice?

     Shout it

You want me to see

your fasting to notice

your humility

     Shout it

     loud

  

Then:

be just

set free

be pure

feed the hungry

be light

be salt

be set free

Then you know

my ways

rebuild the ruins

repair the walls

restore the streets

he walked in the streets

armed with a broom and a heart.

Dust and debris everywhere,

filling his eyes, spilling

his heart

a small light

a flicker

rises in the darkness

     Shout it
