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
