Mother, Father, Everything God
We come to you full of hope, doubts, fears, and challenges
What can we say but thank You for all of it
And for the many ways we are sustained by Your love
A love that knows no bounds
That heals as it moves in mysterious ways
A love that inspires us to seek You
When our spirits are lost and shattered
You are our Comforter, yes
And, yes, You challenge us to see You
In every moment
In every situation
In every child's face
In every elder's trembling hand
Show us Your mercy
In every boardroom let that lone voice
Speak with You in mind
In every confrontation of ideas
Your spirit, Your wisdom
That new thought or that better choice
We keep in our care because of You
Yes, You are there making a way
Helping us to be rich in humility, patience, compassion
To be Your eyes, ears, hands, and heart anew
Yet again and again
Pour out Your heart into ours
And yes fill us in our need
As You fulfill in us our purpose
Touch us and move us
To make a difference we embrace
To become Your example
With every step and breath we take
With every utterance we make
Bless us with
Peace, harmony, understanding, and love
In all our endeavors with this Your world
For us to honor and with You claim
For and with and through each other
Amen
