Who Are You?

Who are you, O God,

That you would commit yourself to a people,

A people you knew would reject you?

You are the woman who can't help but end up in abusive relationships,

To the detriment of her own safety.

You are the tree that weathers abuse,

Yet still provides shade.

You are the child whose parent has left them,

And yet thinks of that parent as their hero.

You are the soil trampled upon and sold for money,

Yet continues to bear a fruitful harvest.

You are Almighty,

Yet your people walk on you.

You sustain your creation that has forgotten you.

You sustain your people who have dismissed you.

O, that you would learn from us!

Let us teach you something about love.

Let us teach you about the give & take of relationships.

Let us teach you our ways.

O God, you bear the marks of true faithfulness.

On your hands, on your feet.
