January 22 Prayer

Jesus calls us because He wants us
He wants us to be with him
Jesus calls us by name
He anoints and appoints us
sent out to proclaim

He wants us to be with him
in our imperfection and our shame
He anoints and appoints and
calls us by name

Return, refocus, the message is plain
‘Be merciful as I am merciful
Be my hands and be my feet
Make my joy complete
and live in unity’

Jesus calls you
because he wants you
now hear him call your name...

Pause- a prayer of response

‘Here are my hands, Lord
here are my feet
Make my heart willing to be your anointed
and appointed
I am weak and unworthy
If it is your voice that calls me
I am willing..

To be a host of your mercy
to become your bread and wine
to restore, heal and bring your peace
that the whole earth would see your glory

Show us this day where to place our feet
to be with you, to stand by you
Show us where to place our hands as an offering
as a cup of blessing
that we receive
that we can give-

May the broken find wholeness
as they hear you call their name-
Direct the steps of those that are seeking
and those that follow you,
the way of blessing
the way of hope in us
Christ, the glory!

With an Alleluia we sing,
make it our glory to praise you
in everything!

Amen
