Prayer for God's Church
A Prayer For God’s Church
Grant us more of Your spirit, Lord,
That we might fruitful be;
That we may all, with one accord,
With Your true Word agree.
Fill our hearts with purest love,
Which only You can give.
Send to us, from up above,
The joy with which to live.
Unity which comes through peace,
We need to keep us strong.
Let our patience never cease,
Though we may suffer long.
A gentle mind to us impart;
In goodness help us grow,
To love our neighbor from the heart,
And seeds of kindness sow.
Give us the faith we need each day,
For hope in times of need.
Please keep our minds on You, to stay,
And on Your Word, to feed.
Make us humble; make us meek,
And temperate in all.
Your perfect will, help us to seek,
With care, unless we fall.
If we, the fruit of Your Spirit, bear,
We’ll have no cause to fear;
And we’ll abide in Your loving care,
For You will ever be near. Amen
