20. School prayers We Pray… School Captains

21. Aboriginal Lord’s Prayer You are our Father, you live in Heaven, we talk to you, Father you are good. We believe your word, Father, we are your children, give us bread today. Others have done wrong to us and we are sorry for them, Father, today. We have done wrong, we are sorry, teach us Father not to sin again. Stop us from doing wrong, Father, save us all from the evil one. You are our Father, you live in Heaven, we talk to you, Father you are good. Amen.

22. We sing Here we are

23. Here we are under this sky - Oh what a land to live in. How did we come to be in such a place? A sky that talks day after day, Telling of endless glory, The glory of God the work of his own hands.

24. But how do we say our thank yous? Anything would be far too small. How do we show we care? We could try to share.

25. Here we are, under your roof - Safe and secure you make us. You are the rock the centre of our land. Jesus here, speaking our names, Oh what a gift his word is - Making us part of his own family.

26. But how do we say our thank yous? Anything would be far too small. How do we show we’ve heard? We could spread the word.

27. Here we are, richer than kings, All that we need provided. More than enough for this life and beyond. Jesus’ blood shed on the cross, Healing our broken bodies, Filling us up with his new kind of life.

28. But how do we say our thank yous? Anything would be far too small. How do we pass it on? We could sing his song.

29. Blessing All: Lord, Bless us with courage, compassion, strength and hope, to walk together with you on the journey of healing. Amen.
