Call to Worship
One: Let us lift our voices together in prayer.
Many: May your people be one as the seas are one
One: though salting a thousand shores.
Many: May your people be one as the wind is one
One: though whisper, though rush, though roar.
Many: May your people be one as the birds are one
One: though they sing a thousand songs.
Many: May your people be one as our prayers are one
One: though voiced in a thousand tongues.
Many: May your people be one as the light is one
One: though made of the colours of the rainbow.
Many: May your people be one as your love is one –
One: your love for all people, we know.
Many: May your people be one as you are one:
One: you in Christ, and Christ in you.
Many: May your people be one as the Spirit is one,
One: moving in us, moving through.
