CURRENT PREACHING PLAN ON SOMERTON PAGE, WITH THIS YEAR'S LAY PREACHER TRAINING PLAN

 

This poem is by Tony Cracknell, a member of Langport URC:

 

'God of All Time'

 

God of the day

Evening has come

The sun has sunk in the sky

 

God of the light

Tiredness has come

Grant now our rest

'Till light comes again

 

God of our minds

Let stillness descend

While sleep makes its patterns

Bringing renewed life again

 

God of the dark

Great are your ways

To you, the light and dark

Just the same

 

God of all sound

Help us to hear

Your words of wisdom

Whispered so clear

 

God of all Providence

Help us now to receive

Your understanding

Of life here today

 

God of all guidance

Make known your ways

To souls that are searching

To walk in your ways

 

God of all noise

You must hear so much

Forgive us the needless

Pollution we make.
