In all of my words
in my prayers
some without words
Calling to you
from here on the earth
that your kingdom would come
That we would walk more surely
in the grace you gave
that we would believe
and act is if Christ came
Our hearts to your service
yet our hands are trembling
giving of faith enough Lord
that we would usher in
God’s kingdom, come
spread the word to all
he is preparing the chariots
the wings of the clouds await
his harvest, let it come

--------
Loving the Other Sheep
All of us the other sheep
yet all of the one flock
none better or worse
all of us children of God
Who are we to judge
who may enter in
if we walk through the door of Christ
lush meadows are for us all
Loving the other sheep
our neighbors and friends
all may enter in
to God’s kingdom, come
