We are Homeward.

now we are homeward

and when we arrive there,

it will be as morning.

all things will be new.

we, Your glad people,

surging with peace and justice,

with You and like You.

call us to the sky,

make us new and we will be

in easter joy,

unafraid,

and

unweary.

until then

we’ll carry among us the marks of death

and the resurrection life of Jesus

in whose name we pray.

amen.
