“Prune Your Church
And help us to bear fruit
That reflects Your justice and peace.”
What does God’s justice and peace look
like?
Wrongs are righted
What is broken is repaired
Not ignored
Not trashed
Discussed to create a solution
Not debated to choose a side
We can only reap what we have sown.
How did we get to Memphis
How did we get from there to here?
When it became all about US
When we made greed our god
When we chose each our own
Way, Truth, and Life
When we demanded each our own
Rights and privileges.
We now bear the fruit of those choices
Injustice, violence, and destruction
We can only reap what we have sown
The fruit of rebellion
Will always be rebellion
We fiddle around issues trying to fix
things
History keeps repeating itself
Nero fiddled while Rome
