Through Christ Our Lord – v2

All we ask, all we pray, to You we live our plea
through Christ, Our Lord, our Savior;
In His holy name, we bring our lives
to You, Oh God, we offer them up.

Like them we pray, in Your holy name,
that we would be the vehicle, the instrument, the gloves,
the skin of Your hands, touching the lives of others,
bringing hope to this troubled world.

Even in our weakness, our untrained hands,
our hearts filled with You, with Your Spirit;
Use us we pray to be Your messengers, Your love
emboldened, embodied within us.

Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Our Savior we pray,

Amen.
