Prayers

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be

With God as Creator,
Family all are we
Let me walk with my family
In peaceful harmony

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every breath I take
Let this be my joyous vow

To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me

The light of God surrounds me;
The love of God enfolds me;
The power of God protects me;
The presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is!

God is my help in every need,
God does my every hunger feed.
God walks beside me,
Guides my way,
Through every moment of the day.

I now am wise, I now am true,
Patient kind and loving, too.
All things I am, can do and be,
Through Christ, the Truth, that lives in me.

God is my health,
I can't be sick!
God is my strength,
Unfailing --- quick!

God is my all,
I know no fear.
Since God, and Love,
And Truth are here.

by Hannah More Kohaus

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a soul like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace have brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield my portion be,
As long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first begun.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff-
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.
