Praise God
Praise God’s Holy name
all you people
God’s love lasts for a lifetime
it is with us in the break of day, as the songbirds sing their aria
it is with us at the noontide, as the sun blazes in the sky
it is with us at nightfall, as the sunsets
let us worship God who loves us and longs for us to know God’s love
let us celebrate all we have in our lives, with hearts open to love
may that love open our eyes to see better how we can set aside our fears, our doubts, our anger, our bitterness, our pain, our emptiness, everything which gets in the way of us loving ourselves and loving others
may our eyes be open to seeing God in this place, in the eyes of those around us, in the beauty of the world around
may our eyes be open to see how people can be changed to be more loving, caring compassionate
including us
Holy God
may we be open to your love in this world, for us, for those we love, for those we struggle to love
Amen
