Jesus, our King, You are more merciful than we understand.
Spirit of God, you bring us peace beyond reason.
Pour on us Your grace, for we are dying.
Cover us with Your mercy, for we are sinning.
Strengthen us with Your peace, for we are worried and afraid.
But we do not love as You do. Help us to be graceful.
And we do not forgive as You have. Help us to be merciful.
And Lord, we are angry and untrusting. Help us be peacemakers.
As You are grace, mercy, and peace to us,
We will be grace, mercy and peace in the world.
Amen.
It is intended that the first stanza is read by a leader. In the second and third stanzas, the congregation joins with the leader for the second part of each line. The fourth stanza is read all together.
