Good News

Little by little
we see the world
decay
around us -
violent,
corrupt,
immoral...
hungry,
thirsty,
empty...

Little by little
we see our life
eroded
by tension,
fear,
anxiety,
uncertainty...

Yet
in the midst
of history,
you gave
good news
for all people.
Your Son
came
for us
to rescue us,
to bring us life
and hope.

Come,
Lord Jesus -
well come!
