What a joy it is to have a Father
What a joy it is to be an heir
What a joy it is to have put on Christ and
so to belong
Our brother has died for us
May we revel in his love,
Rejoice in our differences,
Even as we rejoice in our equality,
The offspring of Abraham,
Heirs according to the promise.
Amen
Our Father in heaven!
What sheer privilege it is to be able to call
you father and know it to be true.
We plead for stamina and patient endurance for
the task of mission.
We long for courage to persevere faithfully
in the face of opposition.
May the gospel so burn in us that it keeps
us steadfast and fills us with joy,
So that others may also know your fatherhood.
Amen
Can Religion Save?
Our Father,
You are the God of greatness
And we are far from you.
We don’t think there is anything wrong.
Our city is facing hell.
Our loved ones are facing hell.
O help us to believe in the Lord Jesus!
May we be full on in with Christ,
Not just intellectually connected,
Nor sentimentally religious,
But full on in with Jesus our Lord and our
saviour.
Thank you for doing all that was necessary
to save us.
Amen
