Hands that Crucify

Lord of all,

What are these hands
that they should seize
what is offered as a free gift?

What are these hands
that they should grasp
what should be shared?

What are these hands
that they should clench in anger
at the thought that you
would ever bless anyone else?

What are these hands?

Just the hands of one
who would once again
crucify the Christ.

A sinner,
lost but for
the grace of God.

Amen
