Two versions: first for corporate worship and second for personal devotion
As we prepare for worship
our souls wait for our Source
to come gently into our souls
like the fading of dusk and daybreak.
As we prepare for worship
we yearn to be awakened
to all the resources in our lives,
lest we measure our hope
by the mood of the moment
and miss what this sacred hour
has in store for us.
As we prepare for worship
We open ourselves to this gentleness,
reminding ourselves that this Source
is already within us, pulsating.
As we prepare for worship
let us accept this gentle strength,
so that we can have the wisdom
to share.
Version for personal devotion
As I prepare for worship
my soul waits for my Source
to come gently into my soul
like the fading of dusk and daybreak.
As I prepare for worship
I yearn to be awakened
to all the resources in my life,
lest I measure my hope
by the mood of the moment
and miss what this sacred hour
has in store for me.
As I prepare for worship
I open myself to this gentleness,
reminding myself that this Source
is already within me, pulsating.
As I prepare for worship
let me accept this gentle strength,
so that I can have the wisdom
to share.
