"Shepherd of Israel, listen to us," Psalm 80:1.
You, who lead your people like a flock. You, whose throne sits above monsters. You, our Shepherd: Shine! Shine out! Be strong and save us! Shine the power of your kind face on us! Bring us back home! And come! Please bring us home. O Jehovah, God of armies! Please don't ignore our prayers! How long, O Lord? How long until your face shines? Until it shines for our salvation? You, O God, have brought us so far. Please don't stop now. Remember your Child. Remember the Son of man. Guide him with your hand. We call on your name. We'll follow! Shine your face on us, Lord, and show your salvation!
We wait with a brother or sister today looking into (and for) the glory of Jesus, our Lord. And, being changed together, we give thanks as we long for the appearing of our chief, the Shepherd.
