This Now My Plea

This Now My Plea

We’re just underway
\tin this year of 09.
Will You begin to restore
\tor do more to refine?

What might we learn
\tfrom the year of 08
that might turn Your hand,
\tor is it too late?

In the years of our past
\twe forgot we had need,
and headlong we rushed
\tpast warnings to heed.

But 08 rang out,
\tit’s message was clear;
too many things
\twe’d come to hold dear.

This fact we have learned;
\tour response to repent,
and hope that in turn
\tthat You will relent.

This poem then a prayer,
\ta hope for a chance
to show what we’ve learned
\twith another turn to dance.

Giver of life
\twe look now to thee;
I ask You restore,
\tthis now my plea.

"Behold, I am making all things new."
Restoration has always been God's intent
and purpose. Not just restoration of the
communion that was shared in the garden,
but the restoration of life's purpose
and meaning; as well as the restoration
of the kingdom GOD has promised to give
His Anointed One, the Christ.
