You have brought me back

To where the birth of my heart rests

I have taken up residence in Your Holy Spirit

And established Your Kingdom

Amongst the souls of a new port

I pray that only Your chosen sons and daughters

Will visit my door to fellowship

Within the walls of this- Your humble abode

May those who sail the polluted waters of an unholy sea

Find justice

And may we who wait for Your Son's Second Coming

Continue to live and grow in Your grace and love

And should you send us out

Into the murky waters of ignorance to fish for souls

Who seek after Your Kingdom and righteousness

Let us be continually mindful of and successful in our mission:

To guide them safely to the shores of Your perfect love

I pray in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ

Amen
