not for the world
but for my living for this world

Voice 2
I light a candle
not for the world
but for the transformation of this world

not for the world
but the paths we travel in this world

It is a candle lit
by the choices I make
that sets free the world

It is a candle lit
by the hope I cradle
that offers a future for the world

It is a candle lit
by those lives
that are pathways towards transformation

Voice 1
a light that draws strength
from the living I do

a light the draws body
from the hope I bring

a light that draws courage
from the path I journey

Voice 1
a candle
a prayer
the way I live
they are the same

Voice 2
a candle
a prayer
the hope I choose to live in
they are the same

Voice 3
a candle
a prayer
the journey where I share life
they are the same

this is our prayer

Voice 3

Mucky Paws is a collection of liturgies created for use in worship at Abbotsford Chuch in Scotland written by Roddy Hamilton. The South Australian Synod’s MRN used to collect these liturgies as volumes, but Roddy’s started to blog them as he writes and uses them in his congregation.

Roddy writes:

Mucky Paws is a collection of contemporary liturgies and creative moments from the last month in Abbotsford. If you’d like to receive a copy each month then just Email Me. To unsubscribe, do the same with UNSUBSCRIBE in the text body. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t but we believe (most of us) that it is worth being creative.
