Opening Prayer
O for a thousand tongues to sing
sweet praise!
O rushing wild spirit of God
pour out the fire of love upon us!
Unfurl your language upon our
lips,
Unlock our minds to embrace all possibility
Unleash our hearts so Your justice flows freely.
Unlock our minds to embrace all possibility
Unleash our hearts so Your justice flows freely.
O for a thousand tongues to sing
sweet praise!
O rushing wild spirit of God
pour out the fire of love upon us!
May your breeze bring health and
wholeness,
May your breath heat our resolve,
May your Spirit storm the earth with mercy and grace
May your breath heat our resolve,
May your Spirit storm the earth with mercy and grace
.
O for a thousand tongues to sing
sweet praise!
O rushing wild spirit of God
pour out the fire of love upon us!
Set us free from self-doubt,
Make us listeners as we seek awareness,
Shake us awake when we forget our privilege.
Make us listeners as we seek awareness,
Shake us awake when we forget our privilege.
O for a thousand tongues to sing
sweet praise!
O rushing wild spirit of God
pour out the fire of love upon us!
Amen. Amen. Amen.
