7th Sunday after Easter

John 17:11-19

As we are drawn
into the name
of God
with the same power
that created time
we are made one

With our wars
--designed in irony
--to solve conflict
we are one

With our hunger
in a world spending million
trying to look thin
we are one

In our jokes
rising from our inner fear
that point up our differences
we are one

With the power
that came to our world
to create
--and save
and to sustain we are one
Created in Your Name
Sanctified in Your Name
Sustained in Your Name

We are one
we thank you Lord
for the truth
that binds together
the many truths
--we have created
and that
We are One
