Common Prayers

The Church of Jou encourages the faithful to take a personal approach to praying, to pray in a way that speaks to them. The purpose of common prayers is to provide a foundation for the faithful to express their faith. The common prayers are often used during community services so they can be recited or sung as hymns as a collective.
The categories are merely a suggestion for intended use, each prayer should be used in whatever circumstances they can offer the most comfort.
Affirmation
Prayers for affirmation and acceptance of the faith.

Hymn of Red Zrak
- Where is the flame, the passion of our hearts,
- Where is the colour that keeps us alive?
- Where is the flame, the passion of our hearts,
- Beyond the blue oceans, across the grassland fields,
- Hidden by the woodlands, and swamps of viridian greens.
- Beyond the blue oceans, across the grassland fields,
- There you shall find what you seek; powerful and burning,
- Volcanic flame and glory of Zrak's Red Party.
- There you shall find what you seek; powerful and burning,
- On this path we are guided by the Grace of Jou,
- She will lead us to a better world, and into the Red Dawn!
- On this path we are guided by the Grace of Jou,
Praise Jou!
- Weary as the path may be
- She will lead us all to glory
- To a brighter dawn
- To a better world
- We shall carry on
- Praise Jou!
- Weary as the path may be
