Who else but you?

 John 6:56–69 

a statement of faith or commitment 

To whom can we go? 

Though you speak wisdom

we cannot understand

or accept, which spins 

our heads, till dizzying,

we stumble and fall – 

To whom can we go? 

Though others mock and scorn

this foolish way, this

nonsense giving away of love

and life as if it has no end – to whom 

can we go, though our fellow

travellers on your path

will leave us, leave you,

offended, upended, beyond 

all bearing? O, Jesus, 

to whom can we go

for words of eternal life,

for embodiment of Holy One – 

to whom, if not to you?
