We will watch, and wait, and write

I’m in the mood to write – so I read (huh?)
I read through our blog – there are some powerful words there.
There are words of hope they are a bit buried but they are there.

We will watch, and wait, and write

We will watch as the world changes around us,
We will watch as the church stays the same
We will watch as hope is crushed
We will watch as the church stays silent
We will watch as life comes to a crashing end
We will watch as the church ….

We the church watch as we stay the same
We the church watch as hope is crushed
We the church watch as life …

Life in all it’s fullness
Life with all the cuts and bruises
Life with all the joy and laughter
Life in all of it’s horror and all of it’s glory

Hope crushed
Life crashing
Life staying the same?

I don’t think so
We will wait as the world changes around us
We will wait as the church stays the same
We will wait as hope is crushed
We will wait as the church stays silent
We will wait as life comes crashing to an end
We will wait as the church …

We will wait as the kingdom of God breaks through

We the church, watch and wait for the kingdom of God to break through

We are so busy watching and waiting
that we are missing the kingdom of God breaking through

If we saw it
Would we tell the world?
Would we write about it?
Or would we continue to watch and wait?
Saying in a hushed whisper to those who watch and wait with us “did you see it?”

We will watch, and wait, and write.
