New Vision

Out of our silence
out of our stillness
God speaking to us
infusing our hearts

Living water
raining upon us
drenching us
with the grace of our Lord

New vision,
new insights
new strength from heaven
to follow our call

Leading us on
if we would follow
sharing God’s love
his message of grace
his redeeming power
to restore us from death

“Michelle and I join with millions of Christians
here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday.
As we observe the season of Lent, we receive
with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance,
recommit ourselves to our faith, and
remember our obligations to one another.”
