NO APRIL FOOL
O Lord,
Let us draw nigh unto thee
That our direction may be clear
That our hearts may be clean
That we may bless all
Whom we touch
Help us to remember
Thy promises made to us
And the commitments
We have made unto thee
O Lord of our responsibility
Set us free
Let there grow
Between us Lord
A mutual trust and confidence
That we may walk hand in hand
And be found to be
No April fool
