Somewhere tonight children are dying from malnutrition and disease.

Somewhere tonight women and men pray.

Father, Gentle God have mercy on your creations tonight. Many of us have fallen away from you. Many of us have never known you. Our hearts break tonight. So I know you are saddened too. Thank you for loving us so much.  You gave us your son to die a horrible death.  You raised him up so we could be with you again. You show us what it means to forgive. Father bring us closer to you. Saved by the cross we reach out to you. Comfort those who seek peace, love and joy! Jesus said to Peter, Do you love me?

We love you Lord! Bless us so we can feed your lambs. Bless us so we can love your lambs. Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from God! We lift up all your lambs tonight to you dear God so you may cover them in your glory! Father let not one lamb be lost tonight. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ , Amen
