The second coming of Christ (Vol 1 No 49)
The second coming of Christ (Vol 1 No 49)
Our Lord, our teacher, healer, friend,
The One whose love shall never end,
Back years ago he lived his life
When times were harsh, in days of strife.
We look for signs of his return,
But like before, we’re slow to learn.
We need not look for special sign,
Nor listen for a word divine.
No need for world catastrophe,
Apocalypse, calamity;
If God is love, and love is near,
Then God in Christ will reappear.
For in our day we see our Lord
In justice done, in love outpoured;
God’s presence is, for those who see,
As real as when in Galilee.
We know our God is present here
When trust and hope replace our fear.
Christ’s ‘second coming’ - it occurs
Whenever love within us stirs.
