God’s Spirit
This prayer was written by Imogen who is 8 who, on hearing we were going to have a Eucharist meal the other Saturday evening, announced she had an idea for some words for Eucharist and disappeared to work on my laptop. We used the prayer that evening as the two families gathered to break bread, Imogen decided who would read what and broke bread and shared the wine with us at the end of the prayer.
I have reproduced it here virtually as it was written but have reduced the font size somewhat!
You can never escape
from God’s spirit.
You can never escape
from God’s spirit, in
the day or the night
You can never escape
From God’s spirit, in
the day or the night,
in the light or the dark.
You can never escape
from God’s spirit, in
the day or the night,
in the light or the dark.
in the noise and silence
in the city or the countryside.
When there is chaos God is there.
When there is happiness God is there.
God is there in space and on land .
God is there in the sea and in the air
You can not escape from God when you are running.
You not escape from God.
