On life’s bewildering pathway we need you as our guide, when anxious moments tease us we need some place to hide. Come, God console your people, give strength to face this day, give grace to see more clearly, to follow in Christ’s way.
May steadfast loving kindness, infuse the lives we live, so sacrificial caring inspires us all to give beyond what we might measure, the greatest gift of all, to give our lives completely in answer to your call.
The cosmic cries that sound through all creation - inspired by Psalm 33: 1-12 especially v 8-12.
1 The cosmic cries that sound through all creation, the pain of creatures, birth-pangs of the stars, the whining of the world upon its axis, you craft in ways that nothing stains or mars.
2 We cannot fathom each eternal purpose, or wrap our minds around what is to be. We only know that, earthed here for a season, our role is sealing human liberty.
3 Half crazy world in which we nurture children, where right seems absent, mercy ground to dust; O God give courage, foster our intention to love our neighbour, resurrect our trust.
4 So God, as we would seek to follow Jesus, to mine the depths of wisdom he has shown, illuminate our task and lead us onward, until into his likeness we have grown.
