Like sun and moon, we rise up another day to worship You. We rest another day in obedient faith, and like the stars in the night, we rise up again to point others to You, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. You know, see us and have planted us, We who are All made in your image, in spaces, communities where your Light is both needed and desired, and in You is Truth, a correcting wisdom with mercy. Ever-pointing to our Messiah, Jesus Christ who lived for us. By might and miracle, heal our grief, deliver us from darkness and infirmity.
