God of Abraham
we worship you
we adore you
we bow before you
in awe and humbleness
for your love is so great
so wonderful
so amazing
so marvellous
a love which propelled stars into space
a love which holds each person
a love which is faithful and enduring
God of Abraham
we praise you with our lips and in our hearts
this day
enter our homes by and through the power of the Holy Spirit
that we may truly honour you in our worship this day
that we may feel you with us
that the words we listen to
the songs we sing
the prayers we offer
may be a fitting sacrifice to the God of Abraham
God of Abraham
you are our God too
made know to us through Christ Jesus, your Son
forgive us, this day
for the times we have withheld part of ourselves from you
for the times we have been unwilling to offer the sacrifice you have asked of us
for the times we have not trusted in your promises to us
for the times we have placed limits on your grace
Siblings in Christ
may Christ came into the world for us
Christ died for us
Christ rose from the dead for us
all so we would be forgiven
in the power of this forgiveness, live as those who know abundant God’s grace
now and always
Amen
