A READING FROM PSALM 25 (FIRST READER ONLY)

TO YOU, O LOVE, I LIFT UP MY SOUL./

YOU ARE GRACIOUS AND JUST./

HAPPY TO GUIDE THOSE WHO MISS THEIR WAY./

YOUR PATHS ARE LOVING AND SURE,/

FOR THOSE WHO GIVE WITNESS TO YOU/

THROUGH THEIR LIVES./

RELIEVE THE BLOCKS IN MY HEART/

THAT KEEP ME SEPARATED FROM YOU./

FILL THE DARKNESS WITHIN ME/

WITH YOUR HEALING LIGHT./

RENEW ALL PEOPLES/

THAT WE MAY UNFOLD YOUR PLAN./
