Gathering Light: A Celebration of Faithful Return #744

Gathering Light: A Celebration of Faithful Return (Homecoming: A Poem of Reunion and Faith) In life's vast weave, each thread retraces, To where heart meets home, in sacred spaces. A gathering not of one, but a communion wide, A celebration of return, where love and faith collide. This homecoming, a chorus of souls entwined, By the Gospel's call, in unity we find. "Believe in the Lord Jesus," the promise rings, "Salvation to your house," faith's echo sings. A beacon for all, through storm to grace, Communal faith guiding, to God's embrace. Jesus' words, a beacon bright, "Rejoice, for the lost now bathed in light." Lost now found, the dead reborn, In celebration, our hearts adorn. This gathering, a testament, strong and clear, Of faith's bond, drawing every soul near. Let hearts open, let spirits soar, In this homecoming, love's core. For you, for family, for every heart's call, This reunion, a divine ball. So, in unity and joy, let us partake, Our collective homecoming, for Heaven's sake. With open hearts, and spirits light, We celebrate together, in love's infinite sight. Written by Steven G. Lee (April 1, 2024)
