holy ground

Be still,
for the presence of the Lord,
the Holy One, is here.
Come before God
with praise and thanksgiving;
we stand on holy ground.
Be still,
for the presence of the Lord
is shining all around.
Holy fire, splendor, radiance
are here, lighting our way
and setting us on fire with love
as we stand on holy ground.
Be still,
for the power of the Lord
is moving in this place.
God comes to cleanse and heal,
to fill us with grace overflowing,
as we stand on holy ground.

adapted from the hymn "Be Still for the Presence of the Lord". Prayer from LiturgyLink.
