Opening the Scroll

You stood among Your people

among your kith and kin

unrolling scroll of Tesatament

Spirit power within.

You spoke to all who'd gathered

from prophecy foretold

of freeing captives

and renewing sight

as promised from of old.

Jesus, the Nazarene,

who speaks in word today

open me again

to see You in the way

the scroll of love is opened

by hearts that know Your beat

that in every living person

tis Your presence that we meet.

(Sr Perpetua)
