Praise the Lord
The Righteous One

The Wise One
Praise the Lord
Bow in worship before God’s holy throne
for the seasons were ordained at God’s decree
the time for planting and reaping
were set in motion by God’s hand
the infinite beauty of each leaf on each tree
the delicacy of a dew encrusted cobweb
the tenderness of a parent’s embrace
all point to the One whom we know
and long to know more
the One whom we love
and long to love more
the One who we adore
and worship today
in our songs, in our prayers, in our congregating
as one people
drawn together by our faith in the Son, Christ Jesus
Jesus
Our Lord and Saviour
draw near to us as we draw near to you
and in a moment of quiet bring our confessions before you
[pause]
for the ways we’ve sinned individually and in common with others, we are truly sorry
we seek your forgiveness that by your righteousness we can truly come before your throne of grace
May the grace and power of the Holy Spirit
pour into us and our worship today
cleansing and renewing us
in the name of Jesus we pray
Amen
