Glory Revealing God
for the gift of love you gave us
we praise your
for mountain-top experiences
where we view more of who you are
we praise you
for the freedom we have
through Christ and the Spirit
we praise you
and thank you for these gifts to us
as your light shines on us
as it shone on Peter, James and John
may we shine in the dark places of our communities and this world
where there is loneliness, may we bring companionship
where there is exclusion, may we include as Christ included
where there is anguish, may we bring comfort
where there is mistrust, may we bring understanding and faith
Christ Jesus
your words and actions
show us who you are
as your disciples in 21st century Scotland
transform us to your light
we pray
that we can transform our homes, this community, your world
more towards the way God longs for all creation
we acknowledge, though,
there is much in your church, this land of ours, your world
which needs transfigured
too much for us to do
unite us with all who long for justice, hope, peace and love
throughout this place and your world
to work for the good of all people
and the good of the world
that truly
tyrants and war and lies and hate would be no more
through the saving love of Christ Amen
