O Holy One,
sometimes in looking forward we glance backwards
and see your presence and feel your support ...
Too often we can step past the weak and broken,
we can over look the bloodied and forgotten,
we can ignore those crying out ...
But then you break thru like a rainbow after the storm
to touch our hearts and open our souls
and to call us to something more than simply journeying ...
Holy One, we give thanks for those moments
when you break through our walls and our reluctance
when you transform our hearts and our beings
when you inspire us to something more than we can imagine ...
Holy One, we give thanks for your presence in our lives ...
In those unexpected moments and overlooked corners
when we encounter you and our breath is taken
we say 'Amen' and 'Thanks'.
In the opportunities you offer to live our faith
and to reveal your presence to others
we say 'Amen' and 'Hallelujah'
And for the quiet saints who labour in your name
and often are neglected with honours are bestowed
and thanks is lavishly given
we say 'AMEN' and 'Praise to You O God!'
Open our eyes, our hearts, our souls and our beings
to your glorious presence in our midst
and transform our reluctance into faithful service ...
We ask these things in your name O Holy One ...
