The pain I feel is my
doorway
across the threshold
into the room of all pain
where I find
Jesus
My oppression is the doorway
into the room of all
oppression
being the
oppressor
being the
oppressed
In that room I find
Jesus
It moves me inward
to confess my collaboration
with oppression
and with pain.
Confession moved me outward
to fight oppression,
to lift up the
oppressed
to end
oppression
Inward to
value
my doorway
my threshold
into that
room
outward to do
justice
to be a peace
warrior
a justice
warrior
nonviolent, but not by
much
to proclaim liberty
to all who are
oppressed
to proclaim liberty
to all oppressed parts
of
myself
Freedom to those I
love
to proclaim liberty
using
words
when
necessary
Justice is so hard
to
achieve
a long, long, long, long
way to
level
To live by faith in
the pain of
reconciling
Giving value
to my grief
and
yours
This is the
doorway
This is the threshold
to salvation!
