The Jesus I Never Knew

Notes for Week Two. This poem was presented to the group and the leadership team, in response to our question "How we might greet Jesus if he were to come to earth today?".				My God is No Stranger I have never seen God But I know how I feel…. It's people like you Who make him" so real"… My god is no stranger, He's friendly and gay… And he doesn't ask me To weep when I pray… It seems that I pass him So often each day… In the faces of people I meet on my way… He's the stars in the heaven, A smile on some face… A leaf on a tree Or a Rose in a vase… He's winter and autumn And summer and spring… In short, God is Every Real, wonderful thing… I wish I might meet Him Much more than I do… I would if there were More people like you. taken from The Lamplighter vol 17, No. February 1979
