When Christ Comes Near

May 18, 2021 Crystal Rowe

Four little outstretched hands
wait patiently in the church pew
as the body of Christ comes near.

For the first time in over a year
voices of people
unite together in prayer.

Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

We are given
God’s grace and love in a bland wafer
that tastes like hope;
manna straight from heaven.

Our once empty souls now filled,
we are sent out into the world
to love as extravagantly as we have been loved.
