Where is He?

Where is He who is born King of the Jews?
We have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophets.

Where have you been for the past three days, my son?
We have been searching for you anxiously.
In the temple, about my heavenly Father’s business.

Where is the carpenter, the son of Joseph?
He is creating some furniture for my home.
In the workshop building, repairing…..waiting.

Where is the teacher about whom we have heard?
We have come to see a miracle and hear his words.
In the boat, commanding the wind, quieting the storm.

Where is the Messiah? Where is the King of the Jews?
If he is such, let him save himself and us….but He is
In the throes of death, suffering on a cross.

Where is my Lord?  Where have you laid him?
He is no longer in the tomb, and I must find him.
He is risen and goes before you.

Where is He who will liberate His creation?
Do we not all groan in bondage to decay and death?
He will come from the heavens with a shout!

He is building, repairing, waiting, commanding.
Suffering with us, He is about His Father’s business.
He goes before you and will come as the prophets have written.

When?  Will it be today?  This year?
It is not for us to know the times or dates,
The Father has set by his own authority.

Where?
When?

We wait.
