The turn of a page,
The twist of an age.
Time runs on.
And the day is won.
O LORD our God.
Good is your name.
And faithful you are.
In love the same.
We cannot be but who we are.
Along the road ever so far.
You are the faithful companion.
In canyons dark and shining mountain.
With gates of gold.
Laughter never old.
Hope and light.
Shining bright.
Stir our hearts this day dear God.
Bring to life our weary sod.
Lift us to our feet, we pray.
To dance and sing and ever sway.
For the sake of love and all the folk.
We claim the story of Christ our hope.
The light of the world.
A peace unfurled.
Bless us, we pray, to stay the way.
In faith, and hope, and never betray.
The truth, the life, that belongs to all.
And grows large and never grows small.
For our loved ones we offer up our hearts.
That life in all of its fits and starts.
Will be good and light.
And faithfully right.
And for our blighted and struggling world.
We lift our hearts and reach for a word.
To sing a song of praise and peace.
For all the children, that war may cease.
All of this, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ who taught us to pray, saying:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
