as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
Amen.

WE PRAY PSALM 25
Show me your ways, Lord,

Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long.
Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life.

4. Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.
Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life.

5. Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life.
Good and upright is the Lord;

He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life.
