Sketch Prayers

We dare to speak, O God
To sing
To rise

In harmony
In power
In joy.

Fill the spaces between
Our lifted hands and hearts
On this day

For together we are your beloved community
Dreaming the impossible
Daring to be free.

Amen

In these days
it's so easy
to lose sight of hope, of love.
Today we hear again the story of Golgotha.
Oh, what a time. Oh what a place.
But here, tangible hope. Here, love reimagined.
Oh dear God,
who claims people and places again and again,
claim us now.
Claim our streets, our communities,
our countries, our planet and more.
For love.
May our hands and feet
be part of love's unfolding story where we are.
Now. Today.
May love happen here.
Because of you.
Amen
