Here is hope in desolation

3rd Sunday in Lent

Romans 5: 1 – 11

Hymn: Here is hope in desolation

Here is hope in desolation:
pain that speaks of sacrifice
bringing deeper faith among us,
mirrored God, embodied Christ.
Here within this turmoil, testing,
every sinew of God’s grace
stretched in tension, peace arrested;
yet we’re nearer to God’s face...
