Maker of heaven and earth
We bring our prayers to you
Confident in your love
We thank you that you care for us
When we cry to you
The sound of our voice does not just echo off the ceiling
Rather you hear our prayers and you answer
We thank you that you show us your love
You are not an inactive God
Your arms tied by some predetermined fate of ours
Rather you work in history and our lives for good
You saw us in our desperate need
You sent your son Jesus to be one of us
To show us your love and bring us back to you
When Jesus returned to the father
You did not leave us orphaned and alone
You poured out your spirit on all who believe
We know your love and your presence fills our lives
We praise you O God
You know us and love us
We know you and love you
You call us to follow you and share your blessings with the world you love
Lord God we confess our sin to you
We have not shared your love with the world around us
We have sort our own comfort not the care of the poor
We have held grudges and withheld mercy
Forgive us Lord
We know your great love
Yet there are times when we have walked away
We have chosen our own ways and not yours
Forgive us Lord
Praise you O lord
As we have confessed our sin you have been faithful and just
You have forgiven our sins and cleansed us from all unrighteousness
You call us to sin no more and follow you
Fill us a fresh with your spirit
Enable and empower us to live for you
Sharing your love and truth with the world
To the glory of God father Son and Holy Spirit
Amen
