Let us praise God
sing to God
Glorify God’s Holy name
may our hearts rejoice in seeking the Lord
find strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Praise the Lord
all you people
remember all God has done
from creating and shaping the cosmos
to wiping our tears when we weep
Praise the One
who knows our joys and our sorrows
who walks beside us
and shows us the kingdom
hidden in dough, in a field
in ourselves
praise Christ Jesus
who loves us
and died that we may have life
who rose again
to fulfil God’s covenant
from generation to generation
let us, for these and a ten thousand other reasons
praise God
Praiseworthy One
may your Word to us this day bring light
may our prayers be acceptable in your sight
may all we are be a fitting, sacrifice worthy of your glory
may we know the Spirit’s with us
her inspiration and challenge
her comfort and shielding
Protector
as you surround us in your compassion
help us to truly confess our sins
where we have wronged one another
we are sorry
where we have harmed the earth
we are sorry
where we have failed you
we are sorry
accept our confessions, we pray
cleanse our thoughts and minds
whiten our souls, with the compassion of the cross
so we may truly be the bearers of the Kingdom
today and always
Amen
