Make Room

Room Enough

Lord Jesus,
come gently through our quiet rooms
and hold us by name.

Where hearts are tired,
be rest.
Where sorrow lingers,
be near.

Gather the weary and the wounded,
and those who wonder if they belong,
and set your mercy among us
like warm bread in open hands.

Make your church a gentle place,
a longer table,
a softer song.

And in the heart of God,
where there is room enough for all,
let us rest in your whisper:
Take heart, beloved;
there is a place for you here.
Amen.
