Jonah's Prayer

Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is the Lord!

Blessed is the Lord, our God! Our God!

Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is the Lord!

Blessed is the Lord, our God! Our God!

Blessed is the Flame that lights our path! Our path!

Blessed is the Word that thrills our hearts! Our hearts!

Blessed is the Hand that cradles our souls! Our souls! Yes!

Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is the Lord!

Blessed is the Lord, our God! Our God! Yes!

Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is the Lord!

Blessed is the Lord, our God! Our God! Yes!

Oh Lord, we come together before You right now

To feed that Flame, To spread Your Word,

To share Your love with all.

We seek Your wisdom and blessing

To do what You would have us do,

To go where You would have us go,

To serve You in all things.

To our God, the three in one, we pray, we pray,

Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is the Lord!

Blessed is the Lord, our God! Our God!

Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is the Lord!

Blessed is the Lord, our God! Our God!

Amen!
