Embracing our dark sides: 8:48 Remember

8:48 Remember

Remember
Not just the lives we lost
But the love we share

Remember
Not just the sorrow we feel
But the joy we grow

Remember
Not just the images of terror
But the image of God

Remember
Not just the desperation that entraps us
But the hope that frees us

Remember
Not just the failures of mankind
But the potential of humanity

Remember
Not just the hate we succumb to
But the forgiveness we surrender to

Remember
Not just the shadows that divide us
But the Light that unites us

Remember
Not just the words that tear us apart
But the Silence that embraces us

Remember
Not just the wounds of the soul
But the healing of the Spirit

At 8:48 Remember...
Across the oceans
Across all faiths
Across all colours

Remember
Not just this time
But Eternity

Remember...
