Come, Lord Jesus!
written by: Hart Dowd
Maranatha-Come, Lord Jesus
Our title is a prayer - Maranatha!
We are people who pray
"Come, Lord Jesus!"
We are called to pray it at all times,and in all circumstances.
We are called to live it,
revealing Jesus, as He comes,

He leaves us in no doubt about the integrity of His message.
If we are deaf, He will speak loudly.
If we do not understand, He will speak clearly.
If we are confused, He will speak simply.
If we ignore Him He will speak repeatedly.
He gave us three simple words:
