Priestly Prayer
Divine Unity: A Prayer for Love, Joy, and Peace
Lyrics
You came to show us your Father
You came to reveal God the Father to us
Our heavenly Father, full of grace and truth
Describing God as our heavenly Father, abounding in grace and truth
No one has seen Him, yet you've made Him known
No one has physically seen God, but through you, God is made known
For us His children, you cried to Him
You intercede for us, God's children, and cry out to Him on our behalf
Father, protect us from the world
A plea for God's protection from the influences of the world
Where we do not belong but journey through
A recognition that our journey is through a world where we don't belong
As You have sent Him into the world
Similar to how God sent you into the world, we are sent into the world
You have sent us into the world
Acknowledging the mission to be sent into the world as representatives of God
Father, protect us from the evil one
A request for protection from the evil forces in the world
May we love each other as You have loved us
A prayer for mutual love among believers, modeled after God's love for us
That the world may believe, you have sent me
Expressing a desire that the unity among believers convinces the world of your divine mission
May we be one, as You are one
Asking for unity among believers, mirroring the oneness between you and the Father
Father, fill us with your Love
A request to be filled with the Father's love to enhance unity
That we may be one, as you are one
Reiterating the desire for unity, emphasizing the oneness modeled after the Father and you
Father, fill us with your Joy
Seeking to be filled with the Father's joy to strengthen unity
That we may be one, as You are one
Continuing the plea for unity, with an emphasis on oneness as seen in the Father and you
Father, fill us with your Peace
Asking to be filled with the Father's peace to foster unity
That we may be one, as You are one
Reiterating the theme of oneness, drawing inspiration from the unity of the Father and you
Father fill us with your Truth
Requesting to be filled with the Father's truth for the sake of unity
We may be one, as You are one
Emphasizing oneness, drawing from the unity shared between the Father and you
Father, sanctify us with your word
A prayer for sanctification through God's word
Your word is Truth that set us free
A recognition that God's word, being truth, brings liberation
Create in us a pure heart and mind
A plea for a transformation of heart and mind to facilitate unity
That we may be one, as You are one
Reiterating the desire for unity, tied to purity of heart and mind as seen in the Father and you
Father, Sanctify us with your word
A repeated request for sanctification through God's word
Your word is Truth that set us free
A reiteration of the liberating power of God's truth in His word
Create in us a pure heart and mind
A repetition of the plea for a pure heart and mind to enhance unity
That we may be one, as You are one
Reiterating the overarching theme of unity, grounded in the oneness of the Father and you
