Lord, Lord, Open Unto Me            Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart
Open unto me, light for my darkness
Open unto me, courage for my fear
Open unto me, hope for my despair
Open unto me, peace for my turmoil
Open unto me, joy for my sorrow
Open unto me, strength for my weakness
Open unto me, wisdom for my confusion
Open unto me, forgiveness for my sins
Open unto me, tenderness for my toughness
Open unto me, love for my hates
Open unto me, Thy Self for myself
Lord, Lord, open unto me!

A note from Randy Bloom:  A very heartfelt thanks for all the kind, thoughtful expressions of sympathy at the passing of my mother Christine Bloom.  We were very fortunate to have had her in good health for nearly 96 years.  The only regret I have is that she never had the opportunity to meet the wonderful people of Trinity Church.    Randy Bloom
