The Kingdom of God

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.
