Sacredise - Prayer: An Incredible Hope

An Incredible Hope

by John van de Laar

We imagine a world where peace and justice
    are the ordinary realities of life;
We dream of a planet where giving and sharing
    are second nature to all people;
We envision an earth where joy and celebration
    fill the news and our lives;
It may seem like a delusion,
    but we have an incredible hope!

We hope in the One who has come:
    who proclaimed such a world,
        and who gave his life for it;
We hope in the One who is always coming:
    surprising us with the presence,
        and the restoring work, of God;
We hope in the One who will come:
    in every age, to every generation,
        until this dream has come true.

We have an incredible hope, O God,
    and we praise you for it!

Amen.
