Good morning, good God!
We pray today, Lord:
remembering those who died,
who’ve passed from this life to the next
to meet, at last, their Maker,
you, the lover of their souls...
We pray today, Lord:
remembering those gone long before,
marked with signs of faith,
marked as yours in ways unknown
to us and others' grief...
We pray today, Lord:
remembering those who gave their lives
without a thought of self,
who laid down all that we might stand
in freedom dearly won...
We pray today, Lord:
remembering selfless souls
who marched with courage sure and brave
down roads we’d dare not tread...
We pray today, Lord:
remembering love and sacrifice
so fully, freely given but easily forgotten
by just the ones
for whom the gift was made...
Lord, we pray on this Memorial day,
we offer thanks and praise,
for those who served and gave their lives
that all of us might live secure in peace,
with liberty and justice for us all...
Amen.
