Love divine, all loves excelling,
love that creates us in your image,
love that meets us in our brokenness,
love that pulls us out of deadly traps
and sets us in the wide expanses of your salvation:
you we worship;
you we praise;
you we love.
You know the ways we wander from your love:
the fear that drives us to make our world small and manageable;
the selfishness that shuts down our hearts;
the arrogance that limits our reach towards the ones you love.
Immerse us again in your lavish grace.
Bathe us once more in the cleansing stream of
your truth.
Send your Spirit flowing through the dried-up, worn-out places.
Bring life — your life
your wondrous, abundant life,
for we pray in the name of Jesus,
the Way, the Truth, the Life,
your Word made flesh,
your Love. Amen.
