We have finished the work you have given us to do.

And now we come and wait patiently before you.

The plans are all made,

The invitations have all been sent

The decorations are all laid

Our resources have all been spent

Now we wait and now we pray

That you would come forth and consecrate this day

Take our tiny offerings and set them apart

May they be found pleasing to your heart

May our hearts be weighed

And made ready to repent.

May our thoughts be stayed

On you and not this event.

Help us to put all our distractions away

And to focus on you this entire day

Show us your glory and give us your rest

Push away the outside world and pull us close to your breast

Let all our worries and anxieties fade,

As we learn to trust and be content

For today is the day you have made

Let us rest and enjoy it!
