Eternal God,

Alpha, First, Beginning of all things -

as the smoke from the fires swirls over and around me,

as the darkness of the day brings fear and despair,

I hear kindly voices calling -

 "Come" - to the City where the Lamb is the Light;

 "Wash" - yourself clean from the dust of the day

    and from all that would hold you back;

 "Drink" - of the Water of Life.

Let your Holy Spirit touch my heart and mind

and lead me to respond,

that I might be with you, 

Bright Morning Star, Omega, Last,

at the Ending of all things.
