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.
