Two thousand years is time enough
guilt and blame safely dispersed
no need to worry about our responsibility
sorrow and shame only a nightmare now.
What’s this talk about reliving it?
How in the world can this be true?
Never dreamed it could come back
to be a part of me and you.
We continue to scourge and bruise the Christ when
we use him as a nightstick or battering ram to
pummel others into a submission to our own
limited understanding of who he is.
