Praise the Lord!
let all creation praise the Lord!
For blessings and honour are God’s alone
God, who breathed forth life where there was nothing
God, who breathed forth light, where there was darkness
God, who breathed forth mountains, where there was no land
this is the one we come to worship
this is the one we come to praise
this is the one we give our devotion to
through bowing at the throne of grace
[pause]
Grace-giving One
fill us with your grace and mercy
fill us with you love and compassion
fill us to overflowing
that our grace, mercy, love and compassion pour out from us into your world
to your honour and glory
[pause]
Glorious God
our hearts are filled with love for you
that you come to us, through Christ Jesus
give us the promised Rod of Jesse
that through him, we know your salvation
in that salvation, we are aware we have failed in word, thought and deed
in what we have done
in what we have failed to do
humbly, we confess before you all the ways we have failed to follow your path of us
asking, once more, you cleanse of of our sins
that we may walk in the light of your love
revealed in and through Jesus Christ
Amen
