About this hymn

Jesus’ rebuke while cleansing the temple invites a worshipping community to examine prayer humbly. Isaiah 56 hopes for foreigners’ acceptance; Mark 11 reveals his grief and anger over the temple’s distortion. Ask whether profit, vanity or busyness has occupied nearness to God, and whether hearts remain open to all peoples. Prayer asking the Lord to cleanse us requires genuine communal repentance, including just and honest treatment of people. Worship thus joins intercession and mission, relearning welcome according to his heart.

When to use this hymn

Communal confession, church prayer meetings, mission intercession and coworkers’ retreats.
