As we go

We have been talking within our church community about building bridges into the community, stepping out and impacting those around us. In Essentials Blue I have been reminded of the overlap of the now and the not yet, of seeing glimpses of the Kingdom of God while being surrounded by poverty, hurt, pain and grief; of the echoes of justice and relationship – of our inbuilt Godly desire for community, for restoration.

I wanted to write a song that spoke of going and doing rather than sitting still and being passive. Something that spoke of my longing to see more and more glimpses of the Kingdom here, to join in with the dance.

I have a 'holy discontent' (Bill Hybels) to see society changed, to join in with what God is doing, to see the church actively involved in communities. I long to see my friends come into relationship with Jesus, to understand that they are image bearers of a living God who cares for them, who created them.
