THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near: repent, and believe in the good news.
Mark 1.15
Our Father,
You are for turning;
turning us round,
upside down,
inside out;
help us to give ourselves
to your revolution of
challenge and love,
through him who called for
turning and trust,
Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
