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
