Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.— Psalm 27:14

Come Lord

Once more we Lord we turn to you,
once more we call upon you,
once more the safety of our lives
is shattered by violence,
once more we see images
of lives destroyed,
broken dreams, shattered hope.

Come Lord,
when there are no words,
when we can find no meaning,
when fear threatens to take hold.

Come Lord,
when hearts grow cold,
when complacency creeps in,
when despair hovers in the air.

Come Lord,
so we might,
once more rest in your goodness,
once more draw courage from your promises,
once more be inspired by your truth.

Come Lord,
teach us your ways,
heal us with your grace,
inspire us with your love.

Come Lord,
so we might live to
bring healing, comfort,
acceptance and love.

Come Lord,
Even now. Especially now.
Come.
