Here’s
a call to worship from Roddy Hamilton.
It was written for the first Sunday of Lent, but could be used at other
times as well.
Call
to Worship
when
the world is no longer a paradise
and
creation shows its full power over us still
and
we are brought down to size on this small planet of ours
we
worship
when
the memories linger of the past
and
war shapes us beyond our knowing
and
conflict becomes a story of life
we
worship
when
the way is more barren than beautiful
when
the path is more a climb than a stroll
when
the desert expands and the horizon stretches
we
worship
we
worship
because
we can
we
worship
because
we hope
we
worship
because
we know our vulnerability
when
things shift
and
we need to hold on
we
worship
it
is the only strength we have for the journey
welcome
to Lent
