All We Need to Know--April 14, 2021

Holy God, light dwells with you.

Remind us that we are only human.

 

We don’t need to know deep and hidden things, 

nor all that the world desires, which will pass away.

 

No Lord, it is enough to know your name 

and the love with which you loved Jesus,

and that the same love may be in us,

with his Spirit in us, to help

us do your will.
