To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help. ”  Amen.

I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.”
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

 

Closing Prayer

Prayer by Rev. Dale Fredrickson

You have power, swinging with you, a defiant wind

Love in your wings

Where there is evil, injustice, and opposition

Be the voice, the velocity That stirs the earth

The lament That heals people

The poem That dreams again

The hurricane Of resistance

For those who cannot breathe. Amen
