A rainbow community
Diverse and dispersed.
Some I know well
Some I've only just met...
Nurturing and loving.
Queer and Christian
Queer and faithful.
We claim your promised rainbow.
We belong in your presence
We belong in your church
We belong in your rainbow tapestry.
You are the God of all not just a narrow group.
If you weren't our God, if you didn't shower us with love then your presence would not be among us strongly.
In one another we see you.
