Your kingdom come

Image: Llanfair Uniting Church


Lord God, because Jesus has tought us to trust you in all things,
We hold to his word and share his plea:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where nations budget for war, while Christ says,
"Put up your sword":
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where countries waste food and covet fashion,
While Christ says, "I was hungry...I was thirsty...":
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

While powerful governments claim their policies are heaven blessed,
While scripture says that God help the powerless:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where Christians seek the kingdom in the shape of their own church,
As if Christ had come to build and not break down barriers:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where women who speak up for their dignity
Are treated with scorn or contempt:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where men try hard to be tough,
Because they are afraid to be tender:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where we, obsessed with being adult,
Forget to become like little children:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where our prayer falter,
Our faith weakens, our light grows dim:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where Jesus Christ calls us:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.
