My Prayer

A Prayer I wrote for SEVEN...


We yearn to see your Promises fulfilled
To see You revealed in our midst

We yearn for peace
For reconciliation and simple trust
With the people we eat with
With the people we’ve left behind
With the people we walk by every day

Help us! Please help us!
We want to be your people
We want to see your Kingdom Come
We want to be a part of the solution
We want to be the change

We are strong, but we are frail
We can be wise, and we can be fools

You have promised your Spirit will guide us
In some real and supernatural way

Let us know that we are your beloved
In spite of what may tell us we are not

Let us become the people we were made to be
Let us inhabit the way of love
Use us to somehow bring goodness to this earth you created

Oh God help us leave the past behind
And move forward to You

Here we are
Help us
Lead us
Change us
Mold us
Make us

Something new
Something good
Something pure

Give us the strength to press on
Into Love

Oh God let us love
Oh God let us love
Oh God let us love
