Retreatishness

Retreatishness

I spent this weekend helping serve a group of women as they journeyed through a long weekend of retreat. It was an awesome blessing to share the weekend with them as well as the others who helped serve them. It was awesome..powerful..and exhausting..But, I wanted to try to put some wording around it. But...I think the best way to do that is a song that we sang over the weekend.

Refrain
In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day.
All creation will rise to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord!
1. And on that day will justice triumph,
on that day will all be free:
free from want, free from fear, free to live!
2. Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord:
they shall walk in the light of the Lord!
3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;
there will be an end to war:
one in peace, one in love, one in God!
4. For Israel shall be delivered,
and the desert lands will bloom.
Say to all, â??Do not fear. Here is your God?
5. And on that day of Christ in glory,
God will wipe away our tears,
and the dead shall rise up from their graves!
6. O give us eyes to see your glory,
give us hearts to understand.
Let our ears hear your voice â??til you come!
