What is divine love
how does it feel?
Divine love feels like a maybe.
Trust is more concrete.

Let me count the ways
in pictures that don't retreat
from year zero AD.
A disputed temple seat
started the great melee.

Outside the temple they meet.
His arrest was no surprise
A jeering crowd was on their feet
Hateful words did fly.
Three denials spelled defeat.

The crowd then multiplied
and watched the show complete.
While Crucified he never cried.
A spear released a bloody wheeze.
Some thought the man had died.

Still breathing God was regaled
The crowd still wanted a view
of the man that was nailed.
His face was red and blue.
Some were thrilled that he failed.

There was nothing left to do.
It was a trial, not an attack.
His mom with the help of a few
carried the body now slack.
Now he can't be king of the Jews.

The Romans were matter of fact.
"He started it, what could we do."
The man didn't die, he came back
with an enlightened world view.
Like the crowd that viewed this act...

that's how much he trusts you.
Like love enforced by contract.
Saving the savior is not what we do.
Saving the savior is not what we do.


If its a matter of trust
How do I trust thee ?

Let me count the ways
in pictures that don't retreat
from a jr. high school daze.
A disputed school bus seat
started the whole melee.

Out the bus door they meet.
Shoving was no surprise
A school crowd, on their feet
Fists began to fly.
Three hits spelled defeat.

The crowd then multiplied
and watched the blows repeat.
Passed out, the boy never cried.
The bully still pounded meat.
Some thought the small boy died.

Still hitting, the skull finally cracked
Yet still more wanted a view
of the boy that was whacked.
His face was red and blue
All were thrilled, thats a fact

No one wondered what to do.
Twas a fair fight, not attack.
A bus driver who had a few
moved the body that was slack.
They said the boy was a Jew.

The bully was matter of fact.
"He started it, what could I do."
The boy didn't die, he came back
with an enlightened world view.
Like the crowd this did attract...

thats how much I trust.
thats exactly how much I trust.
That only one employee stopped
what others enjoyed with glee.
