Ebb and Flow - Celtic prayers (David Adam)

[Gabrielle Dean]

Ebb and Flow
From the flowing of the tide
To its ebbing
From the waxing of life
To its waning
Of your Peace provide us
Of your Light lead us
Of you Goodness give us
Of your Grace grant us
Of your Power protect us
Of your Love lift us
And in your Arms accept us
From the ebbing of the tide
To its flowing
From the waning of life
To its waxing

Until the Tide Turns
Lord,
I wait for the tide to turn
Until the distant becomes close,
Until the far off becomes near,
Until the outside is within
Until the ebb flows.

Lord
I wait for the tide to turn
Until weakness is made strong,
Until blindness turns to sight,
Until the fractured is made whole,
Until the ebb flows.

Lord
I wait for the tide to turn
Until the ordinary becomes strange,
Until the empty is Presence-full,
Until the two become one
Until the ebb flows.
