Good News

by John van de Laar

© 2010 Sacredise

 

It's good news, this Gospel,
    the message of God's reign among us;
    the reality of God's presence with us;
    the challenge of God's justice calling us.

It's good news – a call to celebration,
    a reason to bring out our best,
        and offer it to God in extravagant thanksgiving
        and reckless devotion;
    an excuse for making a public spectacle
        of our worship,
        and letting our passion for this Saviour be seen.

Whatever we may face,
    whatever evil we might fight,
        whatever injustice we might resist,
    we refuse to forget the life, the celebration
        that this Good News offers;
    because it is truly good and liberating news
        when cynicism and hatred
        are incapable of stealing our joy.
