For Heaven’s Sake We Pray From Home As One
A Prayer for Patience and Restraint
We miss our sanctuary
The comfort of community
Our voices joined together in prayer,
But for heaven’s sake
We pray from home
As one
For grandmothers and grandfathers
For mothers and fathers
For aunts and uncles
For the vulnerable and the frail
For this is God’s prayer:
Be safe my children
Your touch
Your hug
Your breath
Your song
Can cost lives right now.
It’s tragic and heartbreaking,
But we will keep our sanctuaries closed for now
To stem this pandemic.
Your patience is praise
Your restraint is glory.
So reach out with your all your heart
Join soul to soul
With a mighty love
That transcends all distance.
Take it in
Waves of blessings
Hands to heaven
We pray from home
As One
And God says,
Amen.
