Mike Lassiter

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.

“Prayer of Being” The Sanctuary Choir

Mark Hayes

Be in my life, be in my breath; Be in my walk, be in my rest.

Be in this humble heart of mine; Be ever present in my mind.

Be in my hands, be in my feet; Be in my eyes and in my speech.

Be in the smile I give away; Be in each healing word I say.

Be in my work, be in my play; Be in the struggles of each day.

Be in my joy, be in my pain; be in my loss, be in my gain.

Be in my thoughts, be in my song; Be in my spirit all day long.

Be in my prayers, at dawn’s first light; be in my dreams, all through the night.

Amen. The prayer of my heart forever shall be; I in You and You in me.
