O gracious God, God of love,
you know how we were made,
you remember that we are dust,
and you have compassion for us.
From your heart you forgive us,
and from our hearts you expect us
to forgive those who sin against us.
Swearing our love to you is nothing,
unless we are patient, kind, forgiving--
unless we reflect to
others the love
we have received from
you.

For he knows how we were made;
he remembers that we are dust.
