Jesus I run away from your crossleaving you there hanging
between desolation and rejection.
Draw me to you
that I may be one with you.
Jesus I stand at a distance
for fear of being swept up
into your embrace.
Call me to you with a voice that I will
recognize and answer.
Jesus I stand at the foot of your cross
like a parched land waiting for the rain.
Let me thirst for your love
as much as you thirst for mine.
Jesus I hang on to the wood of my cross.
Help me to let go to reach out in love as you did .
Gilles Côté
