Saints

All people, saints,

Loved by God.

Let us gather

And together, praise God.

We are saints,

But not perfect

For too often

We turn away

From God's love.

Loving God,

Forgive us

When we forget

That your love

Is always ours to have.

We so often turn away

To find other paths

That you have not

Chosen for us.

You call us saints,

But we will not believe

And accept that love.

Help us to find that path

That is ours

And to stay on that path

And always walk in love

With you

And all others

We find in our world.

And God is always near,

Loving us and forgiving us

When we turn and accept

That love that is ours

To have.

We are gathered as saints,

Loved by God, who created

All that we can see.

All  things,  all people

Belong to our God.

We have gathered here

To praise and worship

A loving God.

Go now out to the world

And show in your life

Who God is.

Go from this place

And walk always in peace

And in love

With all people

That you see.
