God Dwells with Us

My dwelling shall be with them; 
I will be their God, 
and they shall be my people." 
(Ezekiel 37:27)


A call for personal and communal purification and starting anew with a commitment to righteousness. Even when things seem lost, there can be a future reunion and healing. Unity is important under a single, divinely appointed leadership. A society should be governed by just and God-fearing rulers. A community’s identity is tied to its spiritual and moral standing, which can serve as a witness to others. This proves the unbreakable bond between God and His people, and the eternal nature of God’s enduring presence and the sanctity it brings to the community.


In lands afar, 'neath heaven's bright star,
A call rings out, both near and far.
To cleanse the heart, to start anew,
With righteousness in all we do.

When shadows fall, and hope seems small,
A future reunion's gentle call.
Healing's touch, a balm so sweet,
In unity, our hearts shall meet.

One shepherd leads with gentle hand,
Divinely picked to guide the land.
Just rulers rise, with fear of God,
Their righteous paths, the earth applaud.

A community, with morals tight,
Stands as a beacon in the night.
Their spirit strong, their virtue clear,
A witness to the nations near.

Unbreakable, the bond divine,
Between the Maker and His line.
God's presence, an eternal flame,
Sanctifies His people's name.

So let us walk in this bright way,
And in His peace, forever stay.
For in His covenant, we find,
A love that never leaves behind.


Heavenly Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name in the firmament given. We call upon Thee for purification, a personal and communal transformation.

In righteousness, may we be dressed with hearts renewed, in Thy presence blessed. When lost we stand, in shadows drear, remind us, Lord, that Thou art near. Bring us together, make us whole, under Thy leadership, let unity take its toll. Grant us rulers, just and true who fear Thy name in all they do. May our community's identity reflect Thy moral clarity and sanctity. A witness to the world, let us be, of Thy love, and Thy decree.

For unbreakable is the bond we share with Thee, our God, beyond compare. Thy eternal presence, our guiding light brings to our community, Thy holy might.

In this prayer, we commit to Thee our lives, our all, eternally. Amen.
