Lord's Prayer

As usual, flicking thru other peoples blogs... i found this on Barb's blog, and she got it from jonnybakers site. Its an adaptation of the Lord's prayer.

O Breathing Life, your Name shines everywhere!
Release a space to plant your Presence here.
Imagine your possibilities now.
Embody your desire in every light and form.
Grow through us this moment's bread and wisdom.
Untie the knots of failure binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others' faults.
Help us not forget our Source,Yet free us from not being in the Present.
From you arises every Vision, Power and Song from gathering to gathering.
Amen - May our future actions grow from here!

i like things like this, that add a richness and depth to something we are so familiar with. i wonder if we should think about scripture in this light more often. Or maybe even... an excercise where everyone re-writes the passage (sure this may take some exegetical background - maybe?) but it would sure add to the communal experience, as we all see and hear differently depending on our experience of God.
