If the Lords disciples keep silent
These very stones would shout aloud
God open our lips
And our mouths shall show forth your praise
Song “Inspired by love and anger” https://youtu.be/zijXIgMEg7c?feature=shared
Make me a clean heart
And renew a right Spirit within me
Give us again our joy
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Revelation 21
" and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes"
We pray for peace in Gaza, for Israeli hostages, for peace in Ukraine, Russia, for Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, for Hong Kong, China; for work to halt climate change, for the 100 million people who are refugees or asylum seekers, for the homeless, the hungry, the distressed. We pray for all who are anxious. Give them your peace and calm in their hearts. Have your hand upon us, our homes and our loved ones. Be with us all we pray this day and every day. Amen.
Song “Do not be afraid” https://youtu.be/psgn0tAp6IE?feature=shared
When we are despairing and see no way ahead
Roll back the stone!
When we are frightened and fear for our life
Roll back the stone!
When we are hungry, thirsty and need shelter
Roll back the stone!
When we need a miracle to change our lives
Roll back the stone!
