All Saint's Day

Let all the Saints gather

And together raise our voices;

And praise our God!

Our God is here with us

And always dwells among us;

Let us together sing

And praise God!

God is here, among us

As we gather together,

And will be with us

If we will

Turn and learn of love.

Loving God,

We let fear

Rule our lives

And forget how to love

Other people.

Forgive us

When we will not hear

Your voice speaking

To all of us.

Forgive us

When we turn away,

Fearing that death

Will take us away

From our friends

And families.

We forget your promises

And that you have

Conquered death

For all of us.

We turn away from you

And that love

That you promised

For all of us,

And forget to tell others

About your love

For all people.

God is here, among us

And loving us all,

And forgiving us

When we turn again

To find that love

That is ours to have .

We have gathered here

As the Saints of God

To worship God

And to learn more

About love.

Let us now go out

And tell the world

About God's love

For all people.

Go forth in peace

And always remember

God loves you

Just as you are

Right at this moment!
