Listen to the prayers of our hearts,
Open our eyes that we may see you in everything and everyone,
Vacate the darkness with your eternal light,
Enter into us so that we may love as you do.
We are listening Lord. We know that you always hear our prayers even when you are silent. We believe in your love if in nothing else all the days of our lives. We know in our minds and hearts and very souls that no matter what life may bring, whether good or bad, you love us…you love us….you love us…I love to say that and I love to hear it said that the God of the universe, in all his glory, loves me.
As we look around this world and see pain and suffering, we know with all that we are that your love reigns. Your love has won, is winning, and will win in the end. All we ask is for more of your love while we wait for you Jesus. This world needs more of your love. I need more of your love. This church needs more of your love. Teach us your love.
May we never forget your loving acts of kindness. May we never forget how your love conquered all, even death. May we feel every day a love so powerful that demons recoil, mountains crumble and the seas recede. A love as gentle as a baby’s touch, a love that breaks the hardest of hearts. And we anxiously await the day that we are truly made new by your powerful love. We anticipate an eternity of your undiluted love. Change us Lord, may our community reflect your love. May your love be tattooed on our hearts, an image that will never leave us.
Come Lord Jesus Come
We have experienced your love. We can't imagine a world without it,
Come Lord Jesus Come
