Lord, take my life and make it wholly thine.
Fill my poor heart with thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride,
I now surrender, Lord – in me abide.
Lord, from the very beginning of your creation, you breathed your love into all
that you made. You gave us the breath of life and asked us to be good
stewards of all creation. You placed your trust and love in us. Help us to turn
again with joyful hearts to you, placing our trust in all that you have done for
us. Let us be a blessing for you. AMEN.
In the beginning, God made us in God’s own image. And yet, in the most
common of human actions, we stray from God’s pure intentions for us. Let us
return to our Lord, acknowledging our mistakes both individually and as a
community.
Creator God, you know us better than anyone else. You formed us in
your own image. And yet, we sometimes stray from the gift you’ve given
us. We keep people at a distance, letting systematic and personal barriers
get in the way of relationships. Forgive us, Lord. Let us hear your call to
change and do better. Empower us to ask for forgiveness from those
whom we have wronged. Help us to think of you and those around us.
Amen.
Holy God, Holy One, Holy Three! Before all of this, you were God. Outside all
we know, you are God. After all is finished, you will be God. Archangels sound
the trumpets, angels teach us to sing, saints pull us into your presence, and
this is our song.
Holy, holy, holy God, power of life and love! Heaven and earth are full of
your glory! Hosanna through the ages! Blessed is the One who comes to
bring justice to earth!
Holy God, Holy One, Holy Three! You beyond galaxies, you under the oceans,
you inside the leaves, you pouring down rain, you opening the flowers, you
feeding the insects, you giving us your image, you carrying us through the
waters, you holding us in the night; your smile on Hagar, Sarah, and Abraham, your hand with Moses and Miriam, your words through Deborah and Isaiah
you lived as Jesus among us, healing, teaching, dying, rising, inviting us all to
your feast.
And so we pray after him:
Our Parent in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your
will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from
the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and
the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
