A cry
Ah, Lord God, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power.
Ah, Lord God, you have made the heavens and the earth by your outstretched arm.
Nothing is too difficult for you.
Lord God, God of my fathers, my God, I worship you. You are a wonder, O my God; you surpass my ability to understand. Truly, my Father, such knowledge is too wonderful for me.
O God, my God, through time sons of men have struggled to believe in you. Most have not believed. And those who have believed in you have not truly believed you.
When you tell us you have created us for a purpose, we struggle to believe.
When you tell us you have chosen us from among the masses, we struggle to believe.
When you tell us you have chosen us to represent you, we struggle.
When you tell us your Son gives life in abundance, we see our situations, and we struggle.
Forgive us, O Lord! Heal us, O God! Hear my cry and heal us!
Our Father, we have made an obscenity of our world, the world you pronounced “good.” We have filled it with brutality, with barbarism and with unspeakable cruelties.
We live pointless and empty lives.
Heal us, O God! Hear our cry and heal us!
Lord God, my heart cries out to you.
Lord God, you know my heart, that it is yours.
Lord God, I belong to you, and beside you, there is no other.
I need your touch, O God, I need your touch!
Heal us, O God! Heal me!
You are our Light and our Salvation. In you we place our hope. Without you we are nothing. Without you I am nothing.
Hear my cry, O God, and heal me! Help me to believe you.
