with ALL …… . …… .
Oh God we're scattered round about the place,
there’s some of us kilometres apart,
yet still we forward look to see your face
in ev’ry likeness of you, by your art
and your creative love that would embrace
us in the heart of ev’rything we do,
to do it as a partnership, to trace
your purposes in each breath (as a clue)
to woo us into reaching out ourselves
to touch you, as your partner in this life,
so that together, no matter our health,
as parts of a new covenant, we’re “wife”.
And you, our bridegroom, we want to come in
and share our naked intimacies well,
and we would own your fam’ly as its been
so called, and as in fact you’d like to dwell.
No metaphor is big enough to hold
much of your love, but each might help a bit.
All goodness comes from you, and so we're bold
to use what you are happy to make fit.
Please teach us what we need today to live..
to hear your spoken word into our souls.
To take it in, and let it grow and give
this world your presence as we grow more whole.
So, whether these ol’ bods are crook, or well,
we have a chance to keep faithful as said
within our promises as cov’nant dwells
among us, to call us to what you said.
