Come Apart with Me
In the midst of noise and the hectic bustle of life,
Wearied by incessant competition and strife;
Can we hear God’s soft, gentle invitation to come apart
With Him, and walk beside the still waters;
To listen to the soft murmuring stream
To lie quietly on grassy plain, meditate and dream.
Will we patiently hear Him tell His story
About a Heavenly Father, yearning for reconciliation
Through Jesus Christ’s mission of Redemption?
Are we grateful that His Beloved Son is the Holy Sacrifice
An atonement for our sins that will, only with God, suffice.
Do we realise that the Cross makes possible our Salvation?
Is there any greater love story for mankind?
Can we ever such a great love expect to find?
Will we accept His loving gift with our heart
Each having contributed to His sufferings in part?
Will we repent and be grateful for His Compassion
And together, share in the joy of His Resurrection?
Come apart with Me, He asks His sheep
Will we heed His call?
As we follow His Way, let’s pray for His Grace
Wisdom, courage and strength for each day
Hoping that on the day when Jesus summons all
We’ll make it to His final roll-call.
