A Mother Faced the Wall and Wept

A Mother Faced the Wall and Wept – I was teaching a course in hymnwriting via Zoom with some folks from Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church, Oakland, CA. I had shared one of my anti-racist hymns with the class. As we discussed the difficulties of addressing rac-ism in our hymnody, I wondered aloud if I could write in the voice of a grieving black mother. Nancy Hall and Sandra Lee gave me the encouragement I needed.

I wrote this response during a sermon by Liz Tichenor, rector at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, Pleasant Hill, CA. She preached on the temptation of Jesus, saying when we suffer we are tempted to believe that God does not love us. After the service I asked parish musician Charles Rus to set the short text to music.

In the Thin Places – I wrote this text Saturday, April 30, 2022, at 9:30 p.m. after reading United Methodist pastor Elizabeth Brick’s Facebook post regarding the long-expected split in the United Methodist Church. Charles Rus, parish musician at Church of the Res-urrection, Pleasant Hill, CA, wrote the tune THIN PLACES. We sang it with Native Amer-ican flute, choir, and congregation. The piece expresses both lament and trust in God’s slow work in us. My wife, Eileen M. Johnson, and I recorded the song and released it as a single in the summer of 2022.

Jesus' Death Was Not God's Need

Words By

, rev. 2022
Jesus’ Death Was Not God’s Need – When I was a young United Methodist pastor, I wanted to express a different understanding of atonement theology in a hymn. At the time Brian Wren offered helpful comments. He liked the text, saying, 'We need new hymns with better atonement theology.' At his suggestion, 'justice did not make him bleed' became 'anger did not make him bleed.' It first appeared in Faith Will Sing (Hope, 1993). I used it every Lenten season from 1993 till my retirement in 2020. Over the years I made a few revisions to both words and music. The Nonviolent Atonement by J. Denny Weaver, Triune Atonement by Andrew Sung Park, Raising Abel by James Ali-son, and The Cross in the Midst of Creation by Sharon Delgado have been welcome additions to the theological discussion. Death is not the purpose of any life, but it is one of the parts. Some have lifted Jesus’ death so high that it would seem to be all that was needed. Jesus, fully human, fully divine, was born, lived, died, and r

Look as God Looks – In March 2022 I started writing short verses as a response to the sermon at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, Pleasant Hill, CA, Liz Tichenor, rector. Liz’s sermons often spark something in me. After church I would invite parish musician Charles Rus to take a picture of my jottings. During the week he often set the words to music. If we see as God sees, our actions will become more loving.
