There is no God like you, Lord God
nothing, nothing in all of creation matches you magnificence
Your wondrous deeds lie before us
in the grandeur of the landscape
in the simplicity of the wheat swaying in unison
both formed in and through your love
your love, spoken forth into the void
bringing forth
heaven and earth
moons and stars
towns and countryside
nations and countries
May all come ad worship you, Lord God
may all come and know you alone are King
May all come and bow at your throne
in humility,
to honour you,
to give you praise,
to magnify your holy name
The name which is above all names
As we come, as your people in this time, in this place
we pray all we offer this hour may be acceptable in your sight, Lord God
wafting up to heaven as fragrant incense, blending with the angels and saints who gather in eternity
in the never ending hymn of praise
[pause]
Christ our Lord
we long for undivided hearts
where envy, greed, hate, revenge, cruelty, selfishness are banished
we long to grow good seed for your kingdom
but the troubles in our lives and our world
the need to be noticed and important in the eyes of the world
mean we sometimes are like weeds growing in the field
yet, in your great mercy, where there are weeds, you do not tear them up
but allow the good seeds to grow alongside
driving out our sinful ways
that we may be righteousness in your sight
through your compassion, grace and unfailing love
Amen
