Love inspired the anger: Hymn for Lent 3 – John 2: 13-22
1 Love inspired the anger
That cleared a temple court,
Overturned the wisdom
Which their greed had wrought.
2 Love inspired the anger
That set the leper free
From the legal strictures
That brought misery.
3 Love inspired the anger
That cursed a viper’s brood:
Set on domination,
Self with God confused.
4 Love inspires the anger
That curses poverty,
Preaches life’s enrichment,
Seeks equality.
5 Love inspires the anger
That still can set us free
From the world’s conventions
Bringing liberty.
