You Invite Us to Come and See, O God--Feb. 1, 2015

You invite us to come and see what you have done,

for you are awesome in your deeds among us.

You have given us your words to speak,

hiding us in the shadow of your hand,

while calling us to be your people.

Grant us faith to obey your call,

trusting you to lead us even if we

do not understand where we are going,

as we follow Jesus, in whom nothing was false.
