Sermon on the Mount II

My dad

My dad, in heaven,

You are holy and special.

May our world become more like yours.

May more and more things be done your way.

Thank you for giving us everything that we need.

Help us to forgive other people when they have done wrong,

Just like you always forgive us.

Help us not to be naughty,

Keep us away from bad people and bad places,

And from doing bad things.

All the world is yours and you can do everything,

Now and always.

Amen.

Conquers all

Different shapes and sizes

Different colours too.

Different backgrounds, different places

But made to be like you.

Peace can be forgotten

Peace gets left behind.

Peace is what you bring to us

And want the world to find.

Love for one another

Love for large and small

Love for every one of us

Love that conquers all.

Father forgive

When we don’t show friendship,

Father forgive.

When we are greedy and want more than we need,

Father forgive.

When we think badly of others,

Father forgive.

When we think that we know better than you,

Father forgive.

He’s there

Mum and dad are worried about work

And I get stressed at school

Mortgage, shopping, holidays -

How will we pay for all?

Mum and dad, so much to do

And I’ve got friends to meet.

Work and gym and friends to see

As well as driving me.

Mum and dad just won’t slow down

They’re always on the go

Each day just goes on flying by

It’s gone before we know.

Mum and dad, please take a breath

And spend some time with me

I need your love and your time

So much you need to see.

Mum and dad please take a breath

And spend some time in prayer

God wants to spend some time with you

For you to know he’s there.

Love one another

Love one another.

What?  Even those unkind to me,

Who say rude words and do bad things?

Yes, love one another.

What? Even those who fight and harm,

And don’t do what they’re told

Yes, love one another.

What? I don’t know how, how is that done?

Please show me what to do.

I need your love

I need you close

I need to know you’re there.

When you’re with me

It can be done –

I’ll show your love and care.
