Wherever you call us, Lord, our God,
we want to be ready and willing to go.
Whenever you need us, Lord, our God
we want to be available and attentive.
Whoever turns out to be our neighbour in need,
we want to be happy to serve, without exceptions.
Live within us, Lord our God
So that we notice, with your discernment,
respond with your compassion,
and speak with your integrity.
In our lives and in our world,
let your kingdom come.
Amen

I give my hands to you Lord

I give my thoughts to you Lord
I give my thoughts to you
I give my plans to you Lord
I give my plans to you
Give your hands to me Lord
Give your hands to me
Let your love set me free Lord
Let your love set me free
Keep me close to you Lord
Keep me close to you
Amen

Grant us a vision, Lord,
To see what we can achieve
To reach out beyond ourselves
To share our lives with others
To stretch our capabilities
To increase our sense of purpose
To be aware of where we can help
To be sensitive to your Presence
To give heed to your constant call.

Lord,
Reveal in us your glory
Stir in us your power
Open in us your love
Work in us your miracles
Show in us your way
Renew in us your kingdom
Abide in us Yourself.

For all that God can do within us
For all that God can do without us
Thanks be to God
For all in whom Christ lived before us
For all in whom Christ lives beside us
Thanks be to God
For all the Spirit wants to bring us
For where the Spirit wants to send us
Thanks be to God
