The apostle once said your arrival
comes “in the fullness of time,”
a phrase that seems all well and good, except—
we so often want to complain about your timing.
You are too slow for us when we want our circumstances changed,
and too fast for our liking when you are changing us.
And we have the barest inkling of a hunch
that one day in glory we will come to see
—like Einstein—
that time has been relative, all along,
save for the speed of your light.

So move us in line with your pace,
O God whose coming
is forever present-tense.
O God whose coming
is forever present-tense.
And make us to
learn your speed,
so that we may act
with love and truth
in the fullness of time
with the day you have given.
