We Hear Your Words

We hear your words.
And twist them around.

We hear your words.
And sometimes use them to justify deviousness, to manipulate, to promote our own self-interest, and to harm others.

We hear your words.
Help us to hear and understand your words. Remind us that your words must always be acted upon out of love. For if they are not, we have not heard and understood your words. 

We hear your words. 
May our worship and actions expand your hope, love, and justice wherever we find ourselves. Amen.
