leading us learning to love

God please give grace to these four men (& wives),

who serve us all by giving up their lives,

hours of each week to help us calibrate

this new expression of your life (of late),

as opp-or-tu-nit-ies come thick and fast,

and then demands of local needs aren't past.

Please help them rest in you, in bodies now.

Please help us see how we can too, somehow

make all their work a little less "hard slog".

And save them from just getting on the grog,

or letting any idol replace you.

We love you, and them, God; please help us too.
