(Based on John 3:16-18)

God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son.

That we might run the race for Him, that eternal life be won.

He wanted none to perish, that none might be condemned,
Through His Son He willed to save the world, that saved might be all men.

He willed eternal life for us, who in His Son believe.
Let us strive to see His love so great, let us strive to conceive

This Son Who came to set us free, that to sins we be not slaves.
He lived for us and died for us that our souls might be saved.

And so, we thank you, Father, for the gift of Your Son.
We thank you loving Father, that this race we might run,
in accord with Your will for us.  Let Your will in us be done.
And we pray this now for loved ones who have strayed and lost their way.
We pray do send Your divine grace and call them back today,
May all believe in Your Son, that He might bring all back to You.
Dear Father, send Your Holy Spirit.  Let all souls now be renewed.

Christ, You give to us the glory, which the Father gave to Thee.

Open our eyes now, that Your glory we may see,

With the Father You are One. Make us one with You.

The Father loves You Jesus. And He loves us too.

This world can’t see the Father.  Yet You are the Father’s light.

You make the Father known to us, that His love may burn bright.

We are the Father’s gift to You. To us, our children are Your gift,

Heal them Jesus by Your Word. Free them of every rift.

Lord Jesus, send the Father’s love, to the hearts of those we love.

May their hearts beat with love of You, with grace from above.

May we at last unite as one—unite as one with Thee.

United, may we stand in truth.   With truth now set us free.

(Based on John 17: 20-26)

Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion drew near:

His servant was paralyzed; of God, he had no fear.

Jesus said He’d cure the servant, didn’t hesitate.

To go cure this servant, He saw no need to wait.

“Lord, I am not worthy to have You enter under my roof.”

That the Lord could heal his servant, this soul was not in need of proof.

The centurion had faith; this was not concealed:

“Only say the word, and my servant will be healed.”

Lord, our loved ones are in pain, in spirit paralyzed.

They are suffering sweet Jesus; some have been victimized.

We strive to live by your words, the truths that You’ve revealed.

Just say the word Lord Jesus, and our loved ones will be healed.

(Based on Matt. 8:5-11)

“I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.”

(Phil. 4:13)

Loving Father up above,

For souls, our Lord does pine and thirst.

How weak we are when, dearest Father,

We don’t turn to Jesus first.

On our own, we can do nothing.

On our own we’re sure to fail,

Without Jesus as our Savior,

We’re inclined to moan, bewail

Every trial which comes upon us,

Like we’ve been crucified with nails.

But when we can receive Him often,

When it’s Him that we adore.

With His strength, we can grow stronger,

From His strength, we can then draw.

We have sons, and we have daughters,

It may be true they are now grown.

But they have felt so isolated,

They’ve felt lost, and so alone.

Help them Father, know our Savior.

May His love grow in their hearts.

Help them alter their behavior.

From Him, may they ne’er depart.

May they know Your love dear Father,

Know Your love’s height, depth and length,

May Jesus be their true companion

May Jesus be their source of strength.

May they know they’re sons and daughters

Of a strong and mighty King.

May they know, at last believe:

In Jesus we can do all things.

Holy Spirit! With gifts, now come!

May God’s perfect will in us be done.

Do now come, possess our souls.

Bless us with all self-control.

Bare to us gifts now from above.

Come now and fill us with Your love.

Of error leave but not a trace.

Bring to us wisdom and Your grace.

Bring us patience.  Still our hearts.

Bring us pure thinking.  Ne’er depart.

Bring us peace, from God on high.

Make us holy.  Hear our cry.

From all evil, may we flee.

May we do good for love of Thee.

Help us fight with fortitude,

In faith, live the beatitudes.

For righteousness, may we now thirst.

In meekness, may we put God first.

Show us how to bring forth peace.

May conflict now at long last cease.

Though persecution comes our way,

May we on this and every day,

Stand righteously for what is true.

May we give glory unto You.

.

Come Holy Spirit, our hearts are battered.

Heal our hearts broken so shattered.

With forbearance, may we persevere.

Not just today, but through the years.

Until eternal joy received,

What earthly eyes cannot conceive:

Celestial glory will await,

when one day we reach heaven’s gates.

Holy Spirit, make us Yours,

Into our minds, Your wisdom pour.

As on this rugged road we trod.

Let us give all we are and have to God.

Dear Sanctifier, loved ones are lost.

Melt their hearts grown cold like frost.

Fill their darkened minds with light.

Fill their eyes with holy sight.

Holy Spirit, come make haste.

There’s not one moment left to waste.

Fill them with a love Divine.

Make their hearts like unto Thine.

Heal each bruised and bloodied wound.

For Thy love, now make room.

Heal their hearts.  Hear this prayer

for souls now lost, and in despair.

Set captives free.  Release their chains,

May faith in You be what sustains.

Dismiss all sadness and depression.

Call each soul now back to confession.

Help them seek to do God’s will.

May all give You honor and be still.

Christ has triumphed!  The victory’s won!

Most Holy Spirit, we beg Thee, come!
