Steadfast Love
Gracious God,
for your love for us,
gentle as a shower,
healing our pain,
binding up our wounds,
we give you thanks.
For your love for us,
sure as the dawn,
transforming our darkness,
revealing your truth,
we give you thanks.
For your love for us,
mercifully steadfast,
calling us to you,
raising us up,
we give you thanks.
For your love for us,
encouraging questions,
open to our doubts,
making us vulnerable,
we give you thanks.
For your steadfast love
has brought us to faith.
Your steadfast love
has cradled a new creation.
Your reconciling power
has brought to birth
a new ministry.
Urge us on, O Christ,
to find wholeness
through serving you
by serving others,
in the power of the Spirit.
