No Shortcuts on the Way to God

Oh God, holy, pure, and true,

Is your name, your word,

And your kingdom forever.

Let your wisdom grow in our hearts each day.

Oh Jesus, you lead us on the way,

For the way that leads to God

Has no shortcuts and no side roads,

Only the narrow road of truth.

We live in honesty and love,

Following all you taught

In word and in action,

In devotion to Christ, the King

And Savior of the world.

Let our worship be not only prayer and song,

But actions of holy compassion,

Kindness and mercy,

So that the word and wisdom of Christ

Live in our hearts and minds.

May the advent of Christ consciousness

Awaken our hearts,

That we may act more like Jesus

From day to day.

May our devotion to Christ grow deeper,

And may we gain the pure wisdom
That comes from Christ our King. 

Amen
