In our time of trial,
speak through us, Holy Spirit.
When we have nothing
to write, nothing to say,
may we have no worry
beforehand, for your
word will be given to
us, on our tongue.
But, dear God, if
other words fail us,
these are always
words to use--
we give you thanks,
for you
are good; your
steadfast
love endures forever.
