I am not what I ought to be
|
 |
 |
|
I am not what I ought to be,
I am not what I want to be,
I am not what I hope to be,
But by the grace of God,
I am not what I was.

Being Committed
|
|
|
|
Being committed to God is not about being nice.
It’s about being real.

For a Daring Faith
|
|
|
|
|
O God, who has taught us to trust in you as our loving Father, open our hearts and share that most daring faith which you have revealed to your servants in all ages, till the littleness of our knowledge is lost in the greatness of your Love.

Traditional Blessing
|
|
|
|
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May God hold you
In the hollow of his hand.
May the Sacred Three pour upon you mildly
and gererously more and more forever.
