Tune: Sursum Corda 10.10.10.10.  (How Like a Gentle Spirit)

(Use freely, with attribution)

One truck delivers us our wine and bread

Another swerves and leaves our children dead

One driver sings a hymn of love and life

Another chants a call to holy strife

One phone is used to set a bomb alight

Another used to comfort those in fright

And yet both users share a common Source

The same antenna gives their signals force

We seek communion in a time of dread

Yearn for a table that for all is spread

Our broken hearts are blind to creed and caste

But burn for love to reconcile at last
