As all the prophets of old
have foretold it …
As John and Zachariah
and Elizabeth
have promised…
The time is drawing near.
Hear the call to
come to the Light
to receive the hope
and to encounter the
Dawning of the Peace!
Children, are you here?
Do you hear the call?
Are you coming to the Light?
We are here but we are young;
still growing and learning.
We have more questions than
answers. We are unsure of our
place and if we belong here.
Come, you are welcome here.
All are invited to the manger
of the new Kindom.
You will not be turned away
Older ones with many years, are you here?
Do you hear the call?
Are you still searching for the Light?
We are here but we are unsure
if we are welcome with our
memories and experiences.
How can we still take part
even as our paces grow slower?
Come, you are welcome here.
All are invited to the manger
of the new Kindom.
You will not be turned away.
Both the employed and the unemployed with
collars of blue and white or even none at all,
are you here? Do you hear the call?
Will you stand together in the Light?
We are here but we are unsure
since we often do not know
how to be with each other.
Will we understand each other
well enough to be together?
Come, you are welcome here
Give what you can. You are enough.
All are invited to the manger
of the new Kindom.
You will not be turned away.
Gay, lesbian, transgendered, queer and
questioning people of all types, are you here?
Can you still trust the Light?
We are here with all our talents
and all our joys and sorrows
but we have been so rejected
that we cannot be sure of this promise.
How can we know the Light will shine on us
in this new Dawning?
Come, you are welcome here.
All are invited to the manger
of the new Kindom.
You will not be turned away.
The time is drawing near.
Hear the call to
come to the Light
to receive the hope
and to encounter the
Dawning of the Peace!
