Lord God almighty
You are the God who created the world and all that is in it
Arid desert and fertile fields
Distant high mountains and gentile rolling hills
Summit vistas and Valley floor
The unpredictable open sea and the still safe harbour haven
Forest, bush and open ground
Rugged coastline and still calm lakeside
Vast continents and our Island home
We praise you in the midst of your creation
Loving God
You are the God that invites us to walk through this world trusting you
In the midst of the changing seasons and landscapes of our lives you lead us homeward to be with you
You provide what we need to see our journey through
You provide water in the midst of our deserts
Stars to navigate by in the midst of our dark nights
Safe haven and courage amidst our storms
Green pastures and still water to restore our soul
We praise you for your presence to guide and provide
Merciful God
We had gone our own way wandered away from the path you had provided
Yet you did not leave us stranded in the wilderness or lost on city streets
You sent your son Jesus to be the light and the new way for us to travel
He healed the sick and made whole the broken
He spoke your word and brought good news to the poor
When the time was right he gave his life to pay for all we had done wrong
Being raised from the dead he is with you and with us
He will come again to judge with justice
We give you praise for Jesus
God who gives his holy spirit
The wind blows where it will over sea and land
It can be cool breeze in the sweltering heat of summer
It can fill the unfurled sail and take us on
WE can find ourselves trudging into the face of a gale
You send your Holy Spirit wind to blow into our lives
To speak your truth, to empower us to follow you
To lead and to guide us, fill and embrace us
Even to slow us down and turn us back when we walk away from you
We praise you that you are with us by your Spirit
