God of still waiting,
God of deep longing,
God of the heart's true rest:
hold us in fathomless peace,
guard us with unwaning love.
Spirit of promise,
Spirit of purpose,
Spirit of ceaseless prayer:
bathe us in life full and free,
kindle our wonder and hope.
Word who comes to us,
Word who lives with us,
word who disturbs and heals:
silence our chattering fears,
waken our unconscious faith.
Word true and faithful,
hope-bringing Spirit,
God of enfolding love:
come in your fullness and grace,
work through our lives for your praise.
--Carl P. Daw, Jr.
