Children Of Promise
Walking through death
Receiving the promise
Stephen Pursell, 9/13/02
Hopeful to experience
Let us see you again
Roll back the Jordan
We shall follow the ark
Expectant to receive
Fearless to ask
May we who are 'grown'
Be that way again
Open and trusting
Looking for friends
Ready to share
Eager to love
Bright-eyed and open-faced
Outstretched hands
Holy and wholly
Healthy and wealthy
All ages, all colors, all shapes
Pearly-grinned, sticky chinned
Idyllic, golden
Chasing the ice cream trucks of life
Skipping rope, playing tag
All smiles and laughter
To see your children play
To feel your breath
To see you
For you my heart moves
Unquestionable, unmoved
Lord of all that is
God of creation
