O God, you are the source of all our hope.
In the times when we confront despair that deadens,
you come alive!
In the times we refuse to bend to injustice
you come alive!
In the times we choose to bear pain
to keep our conscience clear,
you come alive!
In the times we glimpse the willingness of a faithful community
to work joyfully in your name, you come alive!

the peace and life you give.

And hold you in her love her his love.
And hold you in her love his love
