God's chosen servant

Haiku for a new age


God’s chosen servant,

he on whom God’s spirit rests,

will bring forth justice.


He will quietly

go about God’s work, helping

the weak and broken.


He will persevere,

he will establish justice;

as purposed by God


God who gives us life

calls us, leads us, blesses us

to be light for all.


Called to open eyes,

to set the prisoners free,

from darkness to light.


Former things are gone.

The time is coming for God

to do something new!


Do something new, God!

Stir your people to rise up,

to work for justice!
