God Most High, you
are awesome.
We did not choose
you, but you chose us--
to live lightly on
the good earth you gave us;
to live as free
people without using our freedom
as a pretext for
evil; and to go and bear fruit,
fruit that lasts,
asking in the name of Christ
for what we need to
live such a life.
