A New Heart for a New World

Create a new heart, Holy Lord.
Beckon our lives through your word.
Open our eyes to your call,
united as one for your world.

Heighten our minds to your thoughts.
Heal us of pride and of hurt.
May we go forth in your name.
We pray our hearts change.

The heart of the cross lowly and poor, calls us on.
Lord, it is you promising hope, promising truth.


Create a new heart, Holy Lord.
Beckon our lives through your word.
Open our eyes to your call,
united as one for your world.

Heighten our minds to your thoughts.
Heal us of pride and of hurt.
May we go forth in your name.
We pray our hearts change.

Restless the hearts who yearn for your peace in this land.
Deepen the dream: justice brings life, justice redeems.

Trisha Watts, Monica O'Brien
