A mighty Fortress is our God
set high on the mountain
for the whole earth to see
from where our aid comes
the powers of earth
the depths of Sheol
cannot escape God’s protection
made known in God the Son
who endured death
that we might receive life
that we might know Love
Love revealed on the throne
which was a cross
that throne
we bow before today
in awe and wonder
at this Majesty
who reigns and lives now and forever
in supplication
we offer our gifts
our money, our skills, our time
our prayers, our songs, our worship
our hearts, our minds, our souls
humbly offering them to our King and Saviour
with deep joy and willing hearts
trusting in God’s never-ending goodness to us
where a place is prepared for us
by Jesus
who will take us to be with him
in our eternal homes
Eternal One
you are our sovereign
the crowned head
of our lives
as we approach you
to bring our adoration
we know we need to bring our repentance too
for we have sinned in word and thought and deed
individually and in common with others
because of this
we could be excluded from your majestic presence
but,
but, in your great mercy
you offer forgiveness
receive that forgiveness, and sin no more
for the sake of Jesus’ Way
Christ’s kingdom
God’s glory and honour
now and always
Amen
