Just in case we might forget
Or think our suffering unique
God has included in His Word
More than just a peek
A look into the sufferings
His people have endured
And all the times He’s come back
And helped them feel assured
Not that He would swoop in
And end their situation
(Although sometimes that’s what He did
For both individuals and nations.)
But there are many other times
The words that we now read
Were written by those for whom it seems
God didn’t intercede
It’s good for us to remember
God’s faithfulness remains
Even if the road we’re on
Doesn’t seem to change
God reveals in Jesus
A reality yet unseen
The place that helps us understand
What our reality means.
A more foundational dimension
Where God exists complete
Where Jesus is Lord over all things
And there’s no enemy to defeat.
The crazy thing about it as
We wait for such a reality to come near
The good news proclaimed by Jesus
Is that it is already here!
Will we help reveal it
Or will we get distracted?
That’s why each Sunday we remember
The resurrection He enacted
