Good morning, good God!

I offer you the joy, Lord, of all who'll find today

a friend, some peace, a job, some rest,

some needed help, a little time to share a laugh...

And I offer you the heavy hearts 

of those bent low by sorrow, grief and loss;

the hearts of all who weep today 

and call upon your name... 

 

I offer you the peace of those who will today

find healing, hope and trust in you;

a deeper faith - and mercy and forgiveness...

 

I offer you the wounded hearts

of those who've lost in love, in war, in life,

in promises betrayed

and pledges now long broken...

 

I offer you the faith of hearts

reaching for your hand 

when the strength for reaching's gone;

when desire for your touch 

is all that's left...

I offer you the hope of hearts who seek your peace

when caught in war and conflict,

who seek your guiding light 

when the darkness clouds their thoughts...

I offer you the anxious hearts 

of those whose worries burden them,

who wait for comfort, good news

and the grace of consolation...

 

I offer you the love of hearts remembering better days, 

who trust you'll come again, and soon,

with your promised joy and peace...

I offer you the hearts of all 

now gathered here in prayer: 

receive and bless and heal with grace

our  burdened, joyful, sorrowed  souls 

and all our deeds this day...

Amen.
