God Move Us

O Great and Awesome God

You know your plans you have for all of us
And nothing is hidden from your sight

God, so many people are suffering because of the events of the recent hurricane
I cannot relate with the level of despair many of these people must be having

I ask, dear Lord, that you provide comfort - as only you can -
And relief from this situation

I know that especially in times like this your people rise up and shine
God, I know that there are so many that are capable of helping in their own way

Please move the hearts of those who can help to action

I hurt in my heart over the suffering of these people
God move us who can help to action

I long to see your grace and mercy shine more through these circumstances
God move us who can help to action

If there are any who can donate money, time, blood, sweat, and tears
God move us who can help to action

Let all who see these events come to know you in a deeper way than they have ever before
God move us who can help to action

Restore joy to those who are downhearted, lift up their spirits, that they may have hope
God move us who can help to action

I praise you, Heavenly Father, for your Son, Jesus Christ, who suffered more than I will ever have to
Because of his sacrifice I now live in you.

God move us who can help to action.

Amen
