In a world and in a time, Lord,
when truth is a commodity
woven out of whole cloth,
twisted and distorted
beyond all recognition
bought and sold for profit,
disposed of for convenience,
denied, betrayed and twisted
into lies, half-truths and pretense...
So, in my world, Lord, and in my time...
Grant my intellect the smarts
to inquire, probe and study... Grant me knowledge to discern
what is true from what is false...
Grant me courage to defend
what my scrutiny reveals...
Grant me trust to judge my findings
by the light of scripture's truth...
Grant me reverence and respect
for the wisdom of the ages...
Grant me light to see the common sense
that lives in simple truths...
Lord, grant me
grace to find and know the truth,
grace to learn and love the truth,
grace to live and guard the truth
grace to speak and share the truth,
grace to seek the greatest truth
in you and in your word...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a Way, as gives us breath:
Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Life, as killeth death
Come, My Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:
Such a Strength, as makes his guest
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move:
Such a Love, as none can part:
Such a Heart, as joys in love
Such a Way, as gives us breath:
Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Life, as killeth death
Come, My Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:
Such a Strength, as makes his guest
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move:
Such a Love, as none can part:
Such a Heart, as joys in love
