Renewal

You who experienced death and resurrection,

Who dwells in heaven's love,

Praise to the you, the three in one,

Creator, Word and Love.

Let the flowers of heaven

Fill our hearts with lovingkindness

As the flowers of spring

Remind us that the season of renewal

Has begun.

In the soft breeze of spring

Let us discern your love.

In the thunderstorms

Let us sense you power.

In the still nights of renewal

Let us know your will.

With this Earth and Sun

You nurture us.

Forgive our failure to sow your lovingkindness

As we forgive those who sow despair.

Keep us out of the mud of selfishness.

Deliver us from the quagmires of the soul.

For yours is the springtime,

And the glory of life everlasting.

Let the Grayness Be Gone

Creator of Light and Life,

Praise you above all.

You are love in action.

Let your miracles embrace us

According to your thoughts.

May you illumine this world

As well as heaven.

Let your healing glow

Revive our souls.

Forgive us
For letting in the darkness of uncaring

As we forgive those who block
Our path to the light.

 Winter's grayness reaches out
To wrap us in the cold

And obscure the sunlight.

Just as evil within
Clutches at our souls
And blocks your love.

Part the winter clouds
With the sunlight that emanates
From the furnace that is our sun.

Drive away the evil within
With the radiance of your lovingkindness.

For there is no greater light

Than the light of your Love.
