Come again Jesus
Bring us Peace so we can heal
Peace for a world torn by war
Divided by distrust
Hurt by violence
Come again Jesus
Bring us Justice so we can speak
Justice for those on the edge of society
Oppressed by the powerful
Lost to themselves
Come again Jesus
Bring us Wisdom so we can teach
Wisdom to guide our lives
To empower those who lead
To bring your word to those who need it
Come again Jesus
Bring us Love so we can reach out
Love in a world of hate
Where the unknown is feared
And the lost are led astray
Come again Jesus
Bring us Freedom so we can live
Freedom to believe in your love of us
To live your love for others
To preach your love of the world
Come again Jesus
Bring us Hope so we can create
Hope for the world to come
As the young reach beyond our pain
To create the world they need
Come again Jesus
Bring us Joy so we can celebrate
Joy at the sight of rainbows
The silence o f deep friendships
The stillness of true prayer
Come again Jesus
Bring us you.
