We seek not the
spirit of the world,
but your Spirit, Lord
Jesus,
that we may
understand the gifts
you have bestowed
upon us.
You give not as the
world gives;
you give us your
peace--
there is no reason
for our hearts
to be troubled or
afraid.
Strengthen us, bless
us with peace,
and let us not hurt
or destroy;
the earth be as full
of the knowledge
of you as waters
cover the sea.
