It’s Easy To Surrender
To Half-Acknowledged Fear,
To Urges And Emotions
We Sense Are Always There.
It’s Hard To Let The Gospel
Then Question What We Feel,
Restructuring Commitments,
Transforming, Keeping Real.
It’s Deep Within Our Nature
To Stand Up For Our Own,
Defend From Threats And Dangers,
Whatever We Call ‘Home’,
But Surely Jesus Challenged
The Limits We’d Maintain,
For All, To Him, Are Fam’ly;
Our Walls Are Built In Vain.
Each Age Finds Fresh Excuses
To Speak Of ‘Us’ And ‘Them’;
Migrations, Wars And Famines
Come Back, And Back Again,
Yet, Always, God Of Migrants,
You Summon Us To Care;
We Much Not Limit Welcome
But Learn To Love And Share.
So, Now, Whatever Dangers
Or Threats Might Multiply,
Great God, Grant Us The Courage
To Follow You And Try
To Live Out Love That Welcomes,
Finds Friendship Ev’rywhere;
To Immigrate To Kindness
And Never Move From There.
