There is a longing – Anne Quigley

There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,

for you to reveal yourself to us.

There is a longing in our hearts for love

we only find in you, our God.

For Justice, for freedom, for mercy: hear our prayer.

In sorrow, in grief: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

For wisdom, for courage, for comfort: hear our prayer.

In weakness, in fear: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

For healing, for wholeness, for new life: hear our prayer.

In sickness, in death: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

Lord save us, take pity, light in our darkness.

We call you, we wait: be near, hear our prayer, O God.
