People
of God: prepare!
God,
above all, maker of all,
is
one with us in Christ.
Maranatha!
Come,
Lord Jesus!
God,
the mighty God,
bends
down in love to earth.
Maranatha!
Come,
Lord Jesus!
God
with us, God beside us,
comes
soon to the world he has made.
Maranatha!
Come,
Lord Jesus!
We
are God’s children,
we
seek the coming Christ.
Maranatha!
Come,
Lord Jesus!
God
beside us, comes soon…
I
had dropped into a local block of sheltered flats to deliver some small gifts,
and the manager asked whether there was any possibility that I might organise
some spatially distanced carol singing in the carpark, to cheer the residents. We
put this morning in the diary. It has dawned the wettest day in days—Carols in
the Carpark hastily rechristened Carols with Rain, Dear. Not a good morning to
discover that I have left my umbrella behind somewhere, almost certainly at the
other church I serve.
Whatever
day God comes to us, we are never fully ready. There is never enough time—from our
perspective, even as we long for the waiting to end. But that is okay. God
doesn’t wait until all is perfect; God comes to make all things right. God
beside us, in the mess of our lives, bringing chaos into harmony, making all
things well.
Update:
the rain held off!
