St Stephens Stoning

Catholic

Oh the years without a creed
With stone in hand to hurt and bleed
I thought no Saviour did I need
Twas  the same thought aimed at Stephen

Each day began with crowds and fears
Conditioned hatred, screams and tears
With stones in hand I marched up near
Twas the same thought aimed at Stephen

And with fear, in thought and mind,
Other people did I bind
With rage and anger to mankind
Twas the same thought aimed at Stephen

I threw my stones with strength I found
And watched them tumbling to the ground
No power can hurt what God has crowned
Twas the same thought aimed at Stephen

And as I learnt to leave my woes
And trust in God oh sweet repose
Through the Saviour's blood we know
The example of St Stephen
