Rev Dr Sarah Agnew, Uniting Church minister, presents a call to worship from “Deeper Water” by Craig Mitchell. Published by Mediacom Education.
There is a time
when you’re asked to pause —
to be patient for change
to let things unfold
to just let it be
and you are tired
of waiting
There is a time
when you’re asked for silence —
to keep the peace
to know your place
to just let it go
and you are tired
of being voiceless
There is a time
when you’re asked for calm —
to smooth things over
to meet in the middle
to just chill
and you are tired
of being compliant
There is a time
when you’re asked to honour —
to value tradition
to uphold the status quo
to just respect
and you are tired
of being humbled
There is a time
when voices shout for hope
when mountains shake for justice
when wild prophets show courage
and a new day is coming
This is such a time, this is such a place
Prepare the way!
