Sunday (Close)

We offer to you God, creator and friends All the good desires of our lives We want to be people who can love as you love Who can see in each of us here A reflection of yourself and your love We make our prayer through Christ our Lord I often wonder which is the real me? The super confident talker with some people The shy, inferior self I find with others The carefree, generous self at another time Which 'me' do I bring to god? The confident or the guilty? My 'self' can be like a sky I wander in Cloudy one day, bright another Which is the real me? I am a mixture of different moods and thoughts Changing views of myself and opinions of others Lord, help me believe that this is the 'me' that you love That you say 'friend' to everything that is me Bless us, God our Father, as we leave this gathering May we know that you are close to us in love and friendship Affirming what is good in us and calling us Into a life of friendship and love with you May we give to others a true sense of their own value We ask this in the name of Christ the Lord. Amen
