God of Life, like a promised land,
you invite us to leave our frantic ways.
Like a banquet-laden table,
you bid us restore our empty spirits.
Like a pool of still waters,
you call us to cease our crowded living.
Like a bright and shining star,
you lead us and restore our lives of wonder. Amen
Keri Wehlander
Together, Lord, we will build a home in a new world.
With the bricks of tolerance, we will build a better world.
With the bricks of belonging, we will build a better world.
With the bricks of sharing, we will build a better world.
With the bricks of love, we will build a better world.
Together Lord, with your help, we build a better world,
where everyone will have a home, where we will be
part of one another, and part of You. Amen
