PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

Rev. Mariah Furness Tollgaard

THE LORD¡¯S PRAYER

HYMN 480

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

1. O Love that wilt not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I owe,

that in thine ocean depths

its flow may richer, fuller be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee;

I trace the rainbow thru the rain,

and feel the promise is not vain,

that morn shall tearless be.

2. O Light that followest all my way,

I yield my flickering torch to thee;

my heart restores its borrowed ray,

that in thy sunshine¡¯s blaze

its day may brighter, fairer be.

SCRIPTURE READING

God, you¡¯re my last chance of the day.

I spend the night on my knees before you.

Put me on your salvation agenda;

take notes on the trouble I¡¯m in.

I¡¯ve had my fill of trouble;

I¡¯m camped on the edge of hell.

For as long as I remember I¡¯ve been hurting;

I¡¯ve taken the worst you can hand out, and I¡¯ve had it.

Your wildfire anger has blazed through my life;

I¡¯m bleeding, black-and-blue.

You made lover and neighbor alike dump me;

the only friend I have left is Darkness.

The word of God for the people of God.

Thanks be to God.

WELCOME & RECEPTION OF NEW MEMBERS

Psalm 88: 1-18 selections (CEB)

Shirley Wright

I¡¯m written off as a lost cause,

one more statistic, a hopeless case.

Abandoned as already dead,

one more body in a stack of corpses,

And not so much as a gravestone¡ª

I¡¯m a black hole in oblivion.

You¡¯ve dropped me into a bottomless pit,

sunk me in a pitch-black abyss.

I¡¯m caught in a maze and can¡¯t find my way out,

blinded by tears of pain and frustration.

I call to you, God; all day I call.

I wring my hands, I plead for help.

Are the dead a live audience for your miracles?

Do ghosts ever join the choirs that praise you?

Does your love make any difference in a graveyard?

Is your faithful presence noticed in the corridors of sheol?

Are your marvelous wonders ever seen in the dark,

your righteous ways noticed in the Land of No Memory?

I¡¯m standing my ground, God, shouting for help,

at my prayers every morning, on my knees each daybreak.

Why, God, do you turn a deaf ear?

Why do you make yourself scarce?
