you are the god who sees

the outline for the feb grace service hagar is now in the grace archive.

i loved steve’s blessing you are the god who sees and am making it worship trick 24 series 3

when we are enslaved in a foreign country
you are the god who sees

when we are the victims of domestic strife
you are the god who sees

when we give birth to disputed children
you are the god who sees

when we are thrown out of our homes
you are the god who sees

when we mock other people’s sorrows
you are the god who sees

when our familes reject us
you are the god who sees

when we cannot provide for ourselves
you are the god who sees

when we despair of life itself
you are the god who sees

so may the god who sees hagar and ishmael
the god who sees outsiders and mistakes
the god who sees the ones who are not chosen
watch over us and provide for us
through our wanderings, exiles and errors
this lent and always

amen

    I just got an email from Cheryl over at Hold This Space about their alternative worship ‘Nosh’ and look whose going to be presenting and sharing? You…(of course you knew that…but I didn’t). I’ve been getting so much form your blog (I don’t comment much – very rarely in fact), ideas that I’ve used successfully with our community and shared with others. I’m looking forward to the Nosh and meeting you.
    Peace
    Greg
