lyrics

God of tenderness,
You hold our hands as we walk through this world. You celebrate us and clap for joy at our smallest victories and successes. As we continue to walk over uneven ground, help us to step confidently and boldly, knowing that even if we stumble, you will be there to make all things well.

Merciful God, hear our prayer.


Jesus, our Prince of Peace,
We pray for the places in the world where peace seems like a far-off dream. We pray for Yemen, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Syria, and Myanmar - nations filled with innocent people caught in the middle of violence and never-ending war. We pray for families fleeing. For children and infants who have never known stability. For elders, desperate to feed and protect. We pray for refugees, asylum seekers and any who find themselves in the in-between. Jesus, change our hearts and open us up to their suffering so that your peace will finally reign.

Merciful God, hear our prayer.


Compassionate God,
You wept at the loss of your dear friend, Lazarus. You, who would lay down your life for our rescuing. You, who would overcome death and the grave. You hold us in our grief and anger. Surround all who are in mourning. Comfort those who are sick or lonely. Fill the hungry with good things and shelter those without homes. Give us the ability to hear and see the suffering around us. As spring blossoms, renew our spirits and help us to flower.

Merciful God, hear our prayer.


We pray with hope and boldness, trusting that you hear us. In your holy name we pray. Amen.
