Holy and loving creator,

Re-create us in this world of clamour

And such strife,

Tune our hearts to your heart,

Lead our thirsty, dusty, hard pressed souls

By streams of living water,

And guide us through this darkening valley of fear,

Whisper your truths to us

And through us,

That we might walk the path of peace,

Choosing to love not hate,

To include not exclude,

To see beauty in diversity,

Harmony in a song not our own,

And yet a part of who we have always been….

Holy and loving creator,

Re-create us in this world of clamour

And such strife,  help us to

Resist evil, to seek mercy,

To love justice,

And to humbly walk with you.
