Poem for Christ the King Sunday John 18:33-37

In Glory Christ came into our lives

in glory

as a King among his people

but a people

who did not know him

a people who wished

only to be let alone

and live in the bondage

they had become used to

the bondage created over the generations

the bondage

they no longer saw

this King came

victorious

In a world that knew not victory

to rule

a people loved.
