Loving eternal One
We come
We come, drawn to your mercy and grace
longing to feel your presence with us this day
our thirsty souls search for the spring of living water you offer
that cool, clear, water, refreshment
may it pour, more and more into our spirits and lives
fill us up to overflowing
Overflowing One
pour out your love on us this day
through the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit with us
assist us as we worship this way
assist us to know you with us this day
have compassion on us
we who are sick and heavy laden
concerned about what the future holds,
personally and collectively
may we know you are our Shepherd
now and always
Shepherding One
as we tread a new path
one which we do not understand
one where we cannot see where it leads
may we follow you, in trust and discipleship
setting aside all which burdens us
all which weighs heavy upon us this day
all our faults and sins
all our worries and pain
Friends
May you know that Christ himself comes to take that burden from you
may you know your sins are forgiven
through his redeeming love
today and always
Amen
