your calling. Forgive us when we forget you and fail to live as your
sons and daughters. Forgive us when we work against you through the
choices we make. Merciful God, cleanse our hearts that we might be
faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. It is in His name we pray
this. Amen.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!
