When I Was Small, I Grew

When I was small,

To the One Who Still Remembers
Sometimes the lesson is not letting go.
Sometimes the gift is remembering.
What is memory if not love refusing to forget?
And what is love worth if it disappears the moment someone leaves?

What if Jesus had been from New Orleans...
Would we see y’all throughout the Bible...
What if the last supper had been a crawfish boil...
With Mardi Gras Indians dancing all tribal...

What if the referees’ calls were truthful...
Would the playoff outcome have been the same...

How best to praise His name in purity—
The Lord of hosts, by whom all life is stirred.
