The Circle Will
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
All of Christian theology in a
Capsule, so I’m told
And I can believe it
Little ones to him belong
Who said he will not suffer fools
It was not Jesus
He welcomed the small, the foolish,
And the outcast
I take great comfort from his
Company
And so might you
They are weak, but he is strong
Is there strength in doubt
In cynical insight—if
So, then I might qualify for
Divine companionship
To marvel in the one who
Walks beside me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
One more time, and the spell is cast
It becomes official
He has pledged some kind of
Fidelity to me
Because an invocation counts
So much so we give it once a week
That, like the bath on Saturday,
We take it, needing one or not
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
Ancient lore
Interpretation of the text
Desert mothers and our fathers
Keepers of oldest insight
Dry seeds in small packages
Waiting for young water
What will be our next song, children
Maybe about fittin’ Jericho
Or whether or not we know we
Smile
Songs go back to truth,
Which is why it’s clever when
We can sing all the verses
Time for reading now
And later there’ll be play
It’s a good day in God’s land
However many rainy days
Or rungs to climb
It takes to get there
