If You came tomorrow

Lord, if You came back for Your church tomorrow, how would You find us?
Would You find us sleeping?
Would You find us lukewarm, neither hot or cold?
Would You find us so repugnant, You want to vomit us out of Your mouth?
Would You see us in our luxury, with riches and need of nothing, giving nothing back from which You have blessed us?
Would You see us spiritually naked, even though physically we are bedecked with fine clothes?

Or would You find us doing well, reaching out to those in need, proclaiming Your Name, preaching the uncompromised Word of God, with no fear of persecution, even death?
Would You be calling us to the clouds to meet You, or would we be left here asking Why, and hearing that we didn't really know You?
If You came back tomorrow, would You find the church of Philadelphia or the church of Laodicea?

Lord if You came back tomorrow, what would You see in me?
Would You say well done, good and faithful servant?
Would I have carried Your Name with honour and integrity?
Would I have been a good ambassador for the Kingdom of God?
Would I have spread Your love wherever my foot stepped?
Would I have caused my world to seek Your grace by the fruit of the Spirit within?
Would I recoil from Your glorious presence in shame and grief at the "could have's" and "should have's" ?
Would I weep at Your feet in lament at opportunities lost, and commands not obeyed?

Lord, if You came back tomorrow, what should my today look like?
Yet if You tarry for a thousand years, my today should look exactly the same

Help me, Lord to be all You have created me to be
Help me Lord to be obedient to Your voice
Help me Lord to accomplish all You have set before me
Help me Lord to please You in all my ways
Help me Lord to be the light in the dark world, to be love in the midst of hate,
To give grace when it is so undeserved, to be joyous in the storm,
To hold fast to Your Word when the persecutions come,
To be wisdom in the foolishness of the world,
To be the giver when all around want to take,
To bring peace when there is chaos

Lord, let Your love flow from me from the inside out to show the world that You are love.
Lord, let the love I have for You, gush forth from me, like a mighty torrent, changing my world,
Let this love not just sit dormant in my heart, but let it manifest itself
So that when You come, I will fall at Your feet in love and joy,
Having run my race, fought the good fight, battle scarred but not defeated, victorious in You
With heart-peace, with a joyful soul, with a humble spirit, with a generous hand.
Let the pages of the book of my life be a worthy read, as I continue in eternity with my True Love
