Refine us Lord
burn off our
imperfections
in the crucible of these
days
Lead us to follow
your path, your ways
Share the word with us
more richly in this walk
in these days of
reflection
Heal our brokenness
change how we talk
Help us become more
honest
more open to you
faithful to your call
Fortify and guide us
that we may give you
all we have to give
