We hang our lives upon Your mercy

Oh, just wanted to quickly link to the "liturgy" I used last Thursday lunchtime for the CYM guys in Bristol. It was a really good time of just existing together in God’s presence, made even more special I thought by the feeling of community as everyone contributed and prayed and brought something… I’m sure a wise man once said something about that in some book or letter or something… ;-)

So anyway here it is: http://www.btinternet.com/~smallritual/section8/mercy.html – the words are by a guy called Steve Collins and they’re just amazing. I split it into three sections, using the first two verses to start, the next couple in the middle somewhere to start a time of prayer, and then the last couple to finish.
