Power



Always True


Walking with me,
Standing tall.
You will hold me
When I fall.

When I’m weak,
You’re always strong.
Right and perfect
When life seems wrong.

Always with me,
Always true.
You’re my Saviour
All life through.

Your kingdom come


In my home;
May your kingdom come.

At my school (or where I work);
May your kingdom come.

In my town;
May your kingdom come.

In this country;
May your kingdom come.

In your world;
May your kingdom come.

In my life;
May your kingdom come.

When


When I think
That I know best.
Let me turn to you.

When I’m sure
That I am right.
Let me look to you.

When I know
Just what to do.
Let me ask you first.

For yours is the Kingdom
The Power
And the Glory.
Amen.

Strength


When I should say “yes”.
Give me your strength to say “yes”.

When I should say “no”.
Give me your strength to say “no”.

When I should stay put.
Give me your strength to be still.

When I should go.
Give me your strength to be on my way.

Whatever I say
And wherever I go
Thank you that I can rely
On your strength and power.

Prayer for leaders


We pray for those who lead us;
For teachers,
For managers,
For council leaders,
For Members of Parliaments
For Ministers
For the Royal Family.

May they use their power wisely,
Acting with honesty
And integrity.

We thank you for those that know you,
May they reflect your love in the way they lead.

We pray for those that need to know you.
May they see you in the lives of others.

Pray


We pray for the powerless
In our world today.

Those without money;
Those without a home;
Those without enough food or water;
Those without freedom;
Those without a voice.

May they know your power in their lives.

Help us to shape a world where your power reigns.
