Mosaic Gathering Prayer: December 15, 2019

When the sun rises what shall we sing?
“My soul magnifies the Lord.”

And when chaos and violence echo on the screen?
“My soul magnifies the Lord.”

For our God is a God of justice and peace.
“My soul magnifies the Lord.”

So when all is wrong, or all is right,
“My soul magnifies the Lord.”

Yes, when all is wrong, or all is right,
We will sing with joy and delight,
Of the God of justice and love and peace.
“My soul magnifies the Lord.”

 In front of God and this church, I confess—
I am quick to complain, quick to criticize and conform. I am quick to forget, quick to doubt and deny.
Instead of singing praise, I often stay silent.

May the God of shepherds and kings,
The God of starlight and new life,
Offer you grace and show you the way home.
Amen.
