In light of the games played by some in Washington against healthcare for the working poor, I offer the lyrics of this hymn as a prayer for today: "May the anger of Christ be mine, when the world grows hard and greedy; when the rich have no care for the poor, when the powerful take from the needy. May the pity of Christ be mine, when the outstretched hand’s not taken, when the jobless stand in line, when the lonely lives forsaken. May the love of Christ be mine for the anguished, for the ailing, for the frail disabled life, for the fallen, for the failing. May the actions of Christ be mine, bringing new directions; making peace in a warring time, offering welcome, not rejection." (Colin Gibson in “Reading the Signature: New Hymns and Songs” by Hope Publishing Company.)
