it is right that we use it
to sing and glorify your ever-present Love.
May our thankfulness to You
resound with each beat of our hearts.
You are the center of our being:
You are the center of our being:
may we make our hearts
a fit dwelling place for your Spirit.
You have called us to truly love one another:
may we shrug off the coils
of envy and resentment that choke us.
May we unlearn all that anger has taught us,
that hope and generosity may take root in our souls.
May your peace calm all our fears,
May your peace calm all our fears,
as rain is soaked up by a dry and thirsty land.
May we turn our eyes
from the mountains and valleys in our path
to the glorious light of your mercy and truth.
O Shepherd, protect us
from the wolves that prowl among us:
may we hear, know, and trust your promises.
Now, O Eternal One,
Now, O Eternal One,
accept the prayers of your people,
for each need which has been offered in love.
Amen.
