Ride on in with your gentleness Visit our public spaces where everyone knows us
Visit our private spaces where we hardly know ourselves
Come with your wonderful forgiveness Come with your creative Spirit to help us begin again
Come with your Spirit the comforter and bind our
wounds Come with the cry for action to move on to take risks
to stand up for justice to promote peace and understanding
Come into our crowded streets our crowd lives Come into our lonely places where we feel abandoned

Come with your cross your compassion that we may also know resurrection and new life
Come Lord Jesus to us today Amen
