I pray you'll be our eyes And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise We ask that life be kind In times when we don't know And watch us from above Let this be our prayer We hope each soul will find As we go our way Another soul to love Lead us to a place Guide us with your Grace Let this be our prayer To a place where we'll be safe Let this be our prayer Just like every child I pray we'll find your light Just like every child And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night Needs to find a place, Let this be our prayer Guide us with your grace When shadows fill our day Give us faith so we'll be safe Lead us to a place Guide us with your grace Give us faith so we'll be safe.
PRAYERS OF THE CHURCH AND THE LORD’S PRAYER (USING SINS) Rev. Laura Kisthardt
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever. Amen.
