You keep us waiting … you, the God of all time, want us to
wait For the right time in which to discover Who we are, where we must go, Who
will be with us, and what we must do. So, thank you … for the waiting
time.
You
keep us looking … you, the God of all space, Want us to look in the right and
wrong places for signs of hope, For people who are hopeless, For visions of a
better world which will appear Among the disappointments of the world we know.
So, thank you … for the looking time.
You keep us loving … you, the God whose name is love, Want
us to be like you – To love the loveless and the unlovely and the unlovable; To
love without jealousy or design or threat; And, most difficult of all, to love
ourselves. So thank you … for the loving time.
And in
all this, you keep us. Through hard questions with no easy answers; Through
failing where we had hoped to succeed And making an impact when we felt we were
useless; Through the patience and the dreams and the love of others, And
through Jesus Christ and his Spirit, you keep us. So, thank you … for the
keeping time, And for now, And forever, Amen.
