People of Hope


People in waiting
in joyful promise
people of hope
sure of our Savior
of his return to the earth
singing with Mary
the song of praises
offering our witness
as did John the Baptist
of our need to change
to turn our lives toward him
toward the Son of Man
preparing hearts, made ready
for the day of his return
hopeful in his coming
gathering us to him
all of us to heaven
to live in paradise
believing in his guiding presence
leading us home to God
