A Prayer for Ash Wednesday

From Worship and Song:
O God, you delight not in pomp and show,
     but in a humble and contrite heart.
Overturn our love of worldly possesions
     and fix our hearts more firmly on you,
     that, having nothing,
     we may yet possess everything,
     a treasure stored up for us in heaven.  Amen.
