PATIENTLY WAITING FOR YOU

1. God of night and day,
sun and moon obey,
only you know where the future goes. God of month and year,
teach us not to fear,
but rely on, keep our eye on you.

Patiently waiting for you,
there's nothing more we can do, We are completely dependent, like beggars, it's true.
We've got no life of our own,
lie in a valley of bones.
By the pain of your dying,
with your blood and your loss, give us your life, give us your life, give us your life.

2. Like the Israelites
fleeing in the night,
at the Red Sea, Pharaoh coming fast; you prepared a way
on that wondrous day;
there was dry land, water on each side.

3. Heal the broken bones, bring the restless home;
give us vision, your reality:
see with Easter eyes,
know the dead will rise,
keep on hoping till the final joy.

Back from a Break

During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.

After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the
General Convention .

See some of you there.
