A Change of Mind
I've been a Christian for sixty years now,
introvert, I longed for Jesus to return
More often my prayers went something like this:
come
come, Lord
come quickly
come fill our thirst
come, spotless Bridegroom
come, take your bride away
come, conclude your covenant
come, set up your earthly kingdom
come, show your pow’r over death and sin
even so,
Lord Jesus, come
More recently, making the Lord's will, my vow,
Jesus has shown me my lack of concern
revealing where selfish thoughts were amiss:
go
go, Child
go give hope
go day by day
go, my dearest bride
go, love hungry people
go, make them my disciples
go, train them in obedience
go and I will be with you always
trust Me
in divine strength, go
