Where Is The Love?

by John van de Laar

© 2008 Sacredise

 

        When we treat our faith as nothing more than a self-help system

                    and You, God, as simply a cure for whatever ails us,

        Where is the love?

         

        When we use the gifts our planet gives us

                    with little care for our wastefulness and destruction,

        Where is the love?

         

        When we deny and disdain truths and practices

                    that others hold dear,

        Where is the love?

         

        When we ignore the sickness, the loneliness,

                    the struggle and the vulnerability of others,

                    because it doesn’t affect us,

        Where is the love?

         

        When we berate ourselves for our failures,

                    or holds ourselves to impossible and trivial standards

        Where is the love?

         

        Forgive us, Lord,

                    and teach us and our world

                    what it really means

        to love.
