Prayer

Lord, lift up our eyes that we may
See those in need;
Those who hunger for your
Friendship;
Those who crave your light.

Lord lift up our ears that we may
Hear those who call for help;
Who speak your name.

Lord, lift up our arms that we may
Carry the downcast.
Build the broken,
Touch the lonely.

Lord, lift up our hearts that we may
See your face
Hear your call
Do your will.
