We give ourselves over to comfort
by refusing to search for new ways
Transversing what we see as desert,
our focus set on heat and the blaze
Sometimes we must look to the outskirts
and sometimes we just have to look in
Fight power with something that subverts
For we know it's God's love that will win
Though we are not called to our privilege
We each are given much in this life
We must not carry it as baggage
But use it to bring light unto strife
For faithfulness is just to follow,
follow God into the unknown
To "love one another" is hollow
if those different than us we disown
