What can we give You, Heavenly Father, Creator of the world, Saviour and Redeemer of all, and the One who holds the future of all things in His hands?  We give You honour and worship, and we give You our lives in the service of others and in the service of Your Kingdom.  Receive us and use us for Your greater glory, through Jesus Christ we pray;  AMEN

Renew our hearts, Friend and Comforter;

 Let the fire of love burn brightly for ever.

Repair our bodies, Healer and Deliverer;

 Let the joy of wholeness fill our lives.

Refill our minds, Master and Teacher;

 Let the truths of knowledge not pass us by.

Remove our sins, Saviour and Redeemer;

 Let the beauty of peace with God, ever reign.

Restore our zeal, Encourager and Guide;

 Let the path of adventure be brightly lit.

Rebuild our strength, Great and Mighty Lord;

 Let the challenge of action, thrill and excite us.

Revive our spirits, Counsellor and Lord;

 Let the promise of our future, beckon us on.
