I vow to you written by Roy Croft I vow to you, my friends of earth, all worldly things above, Entire and whole - yet broken - the service of my love: The love that dares to question, the love that speaks its name, That flowers still in barren ground, yet hides no more for shame: The love that struggles through the pain, and whispers in the night, Yet shares its secret with the world, to bring the truth to light. This is that 'other country' we heard of long ago, When called to be the spies of God where milk and honey flow, A world where hurts find healing, where all the oppressed run free, Where friends who have been sore betrayed each other truly see: It is our earth, transfigured, new, where wars and hatred cease, Where spy and friend walk hand in hand in Christ our Lover's Peace. |
