Lord,

   if I haven't paid you much attention all week
   - except, maybe, when I wanted something from you...

   if I've been too busy this week to pray,
   to sit and talk with you, to listen for your word...

   if I lived some moments this week
   pretending you weren't there, right by my side...

   if I've let fear or anger blind me to your presence,
   to your strong arms reaching out to hold me... 

then, come Sunday, Lord, your day,
   I'll turn my face to yours,
   I'll open up my heart in prayer,
   I'll look for you at my right hand
      and pray you'll heal whatever pain
      might keep me from your peace...

And in the week ahead, Lord,
   keep me faithful to your presence, night and day,
   until Sunday comes again... 

Amen.

Come Sunday...
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
I don't mind the gray skies
'cause they're just clouds passing by.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
