I had a wonderful time on vacation last week—we were camping on the island of Chincoteague, Virginia, and really enjoyed the time away. I came back to this wonderful prayer in my email in box I’d like to share with you today. It comes from the World Council of Churches Cycle of Prayer, which is for Brazil this week.
I received it from the Latin American and Caribbean Church News listserv, which you can visit at http://www.alcnoticias.org. Click on the “English” tab at the top right.
And the waters will flow from your altar, Lord
and flood the earth.
And we will be like a garden watered,
cared for,
exposed to life.
Oh! let these waters come,
impetuous and pure,
and destroy the powers
and clean the paths
which my people will take,
singing and rejoicing
in an endless celebration,
the Word, Life, Freedom
and the Resurrection!
And the waters will flow from your altar, Lord,
and clean away the debris
and we will have courage to act,
to serve,
to change the world.
And the waters will flow from your altar, Lord,
life will be rekindled,
and we will see the new creation,
act of your love.
