Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God of power and might
heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna in the highest
hosanna for your love
love poured out in
the wonder of the stars we see in the night sky
when we gaze, we catch a glimpse of light from a distant place
known to us
yet known and loved and cherished by you
as you cherish that place
you cherish this one, on which we live and breathe
praise we offer for all the richness of this planet
deserts and jungles,
rainforests and savannahs
mountains and plains
all of this you entrusted to humanity
to care for, to nurture
teach us how to bring healing as we seek to better care for the world
grant us healing hands
that, in bringing rejuvenation, we can bring your love into the world
we’re thankful you trust us to your purposes
help us live up to that trust
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God of power and might
may your love be the guiding light and purpose of Christ’s church
that Christians across the globe may go into the world
the whole world
and proclaim the good news
we pray for those who go to places where the church has cause harm
may they bring healing
we pray for those who speak truth to power
may they be listened to
we pray for those who have influence to make
in governments and multinational corporations
changes at national and global scales
to bring healing to the whole planet
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God of power and might
in trust and hope
we know you can do all things
nothing is impossible for you
fill your church with the spirit’s power
that together
we may change the world
we may build the kingdom
on earth as in heaven
to your honour and glory
now and always
Amen
