Imagine Maranatha – Poem by Selasie Bulmuo
This world, a world where no sorrows be
Where hearts are free to love unafraid
Where friends remain forever true
Great joy abides and peace is known
Where trouble once made a public show
No foe, no enemy as sly as hate
Can venture where true love now abounds
Guns and knifes and bombs are now antiques
Of no use except to show the rest
Our minds have truly turned around
My house your house is now our house
No reproach to answer to no more
For things we didn’t choose ourselves
Like colour, race, creed or age
No matter, who’s different, none abused
In safety all our children play
Together as one, their futures bright
Our hopes renewed, we kiss the day
Whereas before our mouths had cursed
With words so vile while fear remained
‘t was a promise scarcely heard aloud
The Prince of Peace one day will reign
Terror has ceased in every street
The wicked one disarmed at last
Sunshine is free of bitter darkness
But that day is still sometime away
Could be tomorrow, no one knows for sure
But first this great sorrow will increase so
Creation groans to be delivered
From a troubled world where hope has died
A great harvest will from the earth arise
Away to meet up yonder land
In an instant with no extra time
Ready or not it will surely come
That day when hearts will be comforted
For now, we wait, we work, we wait
Knowing the price for us was long gone paid
Our hearts do truly know this fact
He is faithful, he who has the promise made
So we wait, we work, we wait.
