Spirit of Godde, Christ present in my soul
your love, omnipotent - greatly to be praised
your ways are mystery, beyond all understanding
your name, above all names, creator, parent of us all
in you Beloved One, we place our trust, our only hope
for we are your beloved children breathed into being by
your own breath of life, born to serve, to honor, to obey
born blessed to bless our neighbors far away and near
In your sovereign name we come dear Jesus with
hearts bent low, aware of sins and shortcomings
seeking to be led home into the arms of Godde
please hear our prayers of thanks and praise
laments and joys; sorrows and confessions
for we often stray too far from you instead
of staying near to hear your dear voice
see your light and wisdom, and be
guided by your teaching and
example of loving mercy
and perfect justice
* * * * * * * * *
to be followed by:
A time for praise and thanksgiving….
A time for lament and confession…
A time for petitions, for please....
A time for simply listening...
to Godde enthroned above the skies
