Where are your
courts, O Lord;
and how do we find
them--
the courts that will
make us,
heart and flesh, sing
to you for joy?
Not for sale, your
courts--riches will not buy them.
The waters there are
for everyone who thirsts;
free food and drink,
money not required.
Perhaps we find the
way there by listening
for the voice of for
your Son, the Beloved.
Perhaps we will know
we are in your courts
when we have found
peace and patience,
kindness and
generosity,
faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control.
