PRAYER FOR CHURCH MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS (unison)
God of life, you filled the world with beauty. Thank you for
musicians and artists who see clearly, who with trained skill can
make music or visualize your truth to us. Keep them attentive to
applaud the wonder of your works, finding in the world signs of
the love revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord. Help us to show our
gratitude to all those who share your gift of music freely and
generously with brothers and sisters in worship. For all your
gifts—of life and health, of church and friends, of rejoicing and
song, we bring you our praise from grateful hearts. Amen.
