A PRAYER FOR TRINITY SUNDAY
Gentle God
close to me,
hold me
in your love,
bring strength
when I feel weak,
bring courage
when I feel despair,
bring peace
when I feel afraid.
Jesus, healer,
be my companion
through my pain,
hold my hand
through suffering,
walk beside me
to steady me,
before me
to guide me,
behind me
lest I fall.
Compassionate Spirit,
alert me to your call,
inspire me to share
your passion,
your wisdom,
your justice,
to bring healing
to the world.
Elizabeth Baxter
GOD, OUR GIFTS WE LAY BEFORE YOU
Offering hymn
(Tune: Nettleton)
God, our gifts we lay before you,
gifts of hand and heart and mind;
these we offer to adore you –
may you ever in us find
willing hands for costly giving,
spirits faithful, spirits true,
shaping in our daily living
gifts of worth to honour you.
Jesus Christ, you come to greet us
stooping as a servant low –
bring the ways of God to meet us,
of his grace the fullness show.
Mystery of love’s outpouring,
deep beyond our human sight,
send our earthbound spirits soaring,
re-create us in your light.
Spirit of the Son and Father,
come and fill us here and now,
as with open hearts we gather
ready to renew our vow.
Fuse the gifts our lives now offer
with the gift come from above,
seal the sacrifice we proffer
in your living deathless love.

Breath of life
The three in one
the one times three
(I was never good
with numbers).
Enough to know
you care
you challenge
you make me holy
and you circle me
with love.
Ruth Burgess
I THINK I’VE GOT IT
Okay,
I think I’ve got it!
Before anything
(any thing!)
existed
you were;
and when nothing
(no thing!)
remains
you will be.
But
what I want
to know …
Were you there
the other day
when temptation
cracked the combination
to my heart?
Will you be there
when death taps me
on the shoulder
and grins,
‘Wanna go for a walk?’
And if I whisper,
‘Come,
come soon,
I need you
right now.’
Will you?
Thom M Shuman
GOD OF THE STILL SMALL VOICE
God
of the still small voice,
you speak to us
when we least expect it:
WE HEAR YOUR VOICE
IN THE MOMENTS OF
CHAOS, CLUTTER AND UNCERTAINTY.
Jesus
calmer of the storms,
your very presence comforts us:
WE ARE UPHELD
BY YOUR QUIET AUTHORITY.
Spirit
counsellor,
carrier of our pain and celebrations,
we gather under your cloak of soft down
and sharp flight-feathers:
WE FEEL
THE FLUTTERINGS
OF NEW BIRTH.
Elizabeth Baxter
I BET YOU ARE NICE
Dear God,
I wish I could see you today,
I bet you are nice.
I hope you are looking after Jesus.
Lee, aged 7
A NEW SONG
Anyone could have seen the first two
just behind the fabric of the world.
The third is an unlooked-for ray of brilliance.
Power lifts over us abundantly
in sunlight, ocean, lightning;
matchless design in a bird’s wing.
Only a mind sealed shut could see
and not stir to the presence
of a creating majesty.
Voices speak suddenly
with different clarity –
sing in a key nobody taught.
For those it touches
this empowerment
is undeniable as the wild wind.
But power given utt...
