We sing of your loyalty and justice, O God; we tell of your handiwork to all generations.  You call us to faithfulness; therefore we shall seek to be blameless in all that we do.  Accept our commitment to ministry as your Spirit guides us, and be pleased with the offerings we bring.  Make us useful within the gates of your righteousness, so that justice shall reign throughout the land.
