Prayer
God of mystery, you are far beyond our telling and the tales of our imagining, far beyond the doctrines and the dogmas of our believing. When we try and trap you inside, you are outside. When we claim you as our own, you are another's. When in fear we shut you out, you are found within. When in anger we blame and accuse and judge our neighbour, we only condemn ourselves and blaspheme your name. Your love embraces all and loses no one. Your care extends to every person and all things. In such love is our cherishing and our peace, and in such love may we journey on in hope.
Week of Prayer for World Peace
Finally
WE SHALL OVERCOME
All shall hold hands as we sing this.
We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome some day, Oh, deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day.
We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome some day, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome some day.
We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand some day, Oh, deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day.
We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace some day, Oh, deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day.
The truth will make us free, The truth will make us free, The truth will make us free some day, Oh, deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day.
We are not afraid, We are not afraid, We are not afraid today; Oh deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day.
The Lord will see us through, The Lord will see us through, The Lord will see us through some day, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome some day.
The whole wide world around, The whole wide world around, The whole wide world around some day, Oh, deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day.
