from Jordan to Jericho,
from Bethany to Jerusalem,
from then to now,
Come, Lord Jesus
To heal the sick,
to mend the brokenhearted,
to comfort the disturbed,
to disturb the comfortable,
to cleanse the temple,
to liberate faith from convention,
Come, Lord Jesus
To carry the cross,
to lead the way,
to shoulder the sin of the world
and take it away,
come, Lord Jesus.
Today,
to this place,
to us,
come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Amen.
