A Poem To Today
Albert Bogle, minister of Sanctuary First, shares a
poem on the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.
Come stand with me
Come stand with us
A nation in mourning
As we seek courage to continue
On our journey
Without our Queen
Change and loss create fear
Stand and face the fear and it will flee
Don’t run she said
To run is to miss the detail
To cast your eyes away from the problem
To only feel your fear in the darkness
To keep living in your pain
Stand your ground — nothing lasts forever
Don’t sit she said
To sit is to spectate
To seek a comfortable view
To believe that is all you can do
To live in your incapacity
To do so is to miss the challenge
To expect more
To keep standing is to hold your ground
To stand is to expect — to be ready
To look out beyond here — to there
To scan the view
To look far beyond the distant clouds
To wait in anticipation
For a clear view
For a distant sunrise
To see the the possibilities of expansive faith
To see the day in all its daylight
To see the Son in all his glory
Come stand with her before the Son
Come — be amazed!
Standing is for queens and kings
He has made us all into royalty
Wearing robes and crowns
And regal smiles
Come stand with awe and wonder
Come stand amazed and serene
Come kneel like her
And cast your crowns
Your pride — your joy
At the feet of Jesus the Nazarene
The King of kings
