On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines,
of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.
And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the sheet that is spread over all nations;
he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the shame of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Not just some future hope
to get us beyond today
Not just a comfort in grief
to see us through the darkness
God’s promise is for now
for everyday
to change the way
we live and love
to change the way
we mourn and hope
to change the way
we experience shame
to make our reality now
one in which
God walks with us
removing the shrouds
with which we cover ourselves
piercing the armour
with which we protect
our fragile egos
God walks with us
Embracing
Affirming
Encouraging
the beauty that is within us
Until we can see it too
And live as those freed
Freed from shame
Freed from all that limits
Freed from all that limits
Freed to live life
in all its fullness
and experience love
in glorious technicolour
Freed to be
who God created us to be
Free
Thanks be to God.
and experience love
in glorious technicolour
Freed to be
who God created us to be
Free
Thanks be to God.
