5th Sunday after Pentecost

Mark 6:7-13

I have come in the name of Jesus
The son of Nazareth
Sent from God to you
The children of God
I ask for nothing
But bring peace
Shalom
That it may be well with you
And your God
In this place
The message went out
On the lips
And deeds of the twelve
As they begin to see
And understand
(God)
who was this one who sent them
and the message that He brought
to a people
(brings)
filled with love and hate
pain and joy
dreams and reality
(life)
people who live not of high dreams
but of today
and tomorrow
(to those)
hoping beyond hope
to hear such a message of love
for some hearing
(who hear)
and for some not
that the God of Creation
the God of “In the Beginning”
(God’s)
loves them
