Unconditional
The red brick wall between you and me
Not for always; just for now it must be
Off to the showers, hope I get one today
Out to the yard; then to work for low pay
No coffee today; gotta save some cents
Until there’s enough for that tv set.
Learned to sacrifice and do without
The way of the Lord; the path to His House
Oh my loving God, is this what you meant
When you said I must serve you and repent?
I accept all I’m given and am grateful
To still be alive, healthy and not hateful
It’s hard in here but you keep me safe
I needed this time to clear my plate
For now I’m learning most of all
What love is - when it is - unconditional
