Duckpool Road | Baptist Church

We remember Lord, we remember:

Today heavenly Father

We remember ships tossed in the air by explosions,

We remember men, our friends, falling beside us . . .

We remember telegrams coming to the doors of our neighbours,

Husbands taken from loving arms never to return;

Sons who were feared for every day.

We remember a lot, we remember . . .

.

Loving Father -

Help us in our memories;

Ease us in the pain of them, without causing us to forget.

Lord God – we remember the costs,

But remind us too of the victory -

of what was won by our comrades and by fellow countrymen;

.

And finally Lord God -

Be with all those who are facing war this day -

Our men and women at sea, on land and in the air.

Be with the rulers of this world, may their hearts be opened by you and their eyes see the error of their ways.

Be with all the world’s citizens, and Father God may none of us forget the costs of war

May we learn and live the way of peace with justice.

 .

All this we ask in the name of Jesus.
