Most Merciful God,
who calls us to mercy
even as we ourselves receive mercy,
we bow before You in humility and wonder
as we sing our your praise.
May your commandments
be a song in our hearts, centering us
on loving kindness,
doing good,
and walking humbly with You, Our God.
May we sing the melody of your love and faithfulness,
and draw the world to You
by our witness to your beauty, O Savior.
May we be brave enough
to pray for your Spirit to seize our hearts
and make them fully yours, O Lord,
that your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Pour out your blessing
like the healing balm of summer rain
on the dry ground of our thirsty spirits,
and grant your peace and comfort
to those whose hope is in You.
Amen.
"Your statutes have been like songs to me *
wherever I have lived as a stranger."-- Psalm 119:54
from this morning's psalms in the daily office
