PRAYER OF CONFESSION

†
O Christ, you modeled extreme generosity, giving your very life for us. Forgive us when we are hesitant to share even the smallest of our gifts. O Christ, you modeled a life of service, always attentive to those in need. Forgive us when we refuse to hear the cries of our neighbors. O Christ, you call us into community, joining the church in one faith, one baptism. Forgive us when we do not live as if we are your people.

Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. † THE PEACE

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord to thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love. Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for thee. Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from thee. Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose. Take my will, and make it thine; it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart; it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne. Take my love, my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure store. Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee. Amen.
