Gracious and loving God
Creator
Redeemer
Sustainer

With thanksgiving
and hope
I come to you today
Grateful to walk with sisters & brothers
of other tribes
as they celebrate with faithful anticipation
one who accepts the call
as your servant leader

may his ear be inclined
toward your extravagant love

may the hinges of his heart
be oiled with compassion
and swing open
to welcome your ever present spirit

may his hands
reach across borders
geographical and theological

may his spirit
be willing to hear
your still speaking voice
whispered in the dulcet tones
of everlasting grace

may his knees bend
in radical humility
as he prays for your guidance

may his feet take confident
and compassionate steps
toward liberative justice

may his eyes perceive
your beauty
reflected in the faces
of lesbian
gay
bisexual
and transgender
people

May he live into his chosen name
and truly regard all
All creation as the mirror of God
and claim love
as the truest of all truths

Oh Lord
May You speak
Through him
May You speak
In spite of him

Amen
