Together within
this circle
sharing a life in
mission, of purpose,
a calling to be
the presence
the hands and feet,
light,
to be the voice of
the living God.
Be with us in our journey,
help us to mend
every breach;
Bind each of our
threads together
our living stones
with the Christ
the one
cornerstone of Jesus.
Guide us on the
path
Help us to be a
people of prayer,
of action for Your
purpose;
Lead us through
the waters,
the fires of this
life.
