The new

Haiku responding to Hebrews 12:18-29


It is diff'rent now,

not like in the past, with God

clothed in fire and smoke.


Trembling and awe,

encountering God with fear;

that's how it once was.


You who are in Christ

meet the living God with joy

and great festival.


We come to Jesus,

who forged the new covenant

between us and God.


Do not refuse him

when he speaks words of freedom,

accept his life-gift.


God speaks: creation

trembles. Earthly things will pass;

those from God remain.


God's promised kingdom

cannot be shaken. It's ours;

God's gift. Be thankful.


Showing gratitude,

we bring our worship to God,

along with our lives.
