Approach and confession prayer 13 August 2023

Praise the Lord

Praise God’s Holy Name

proclaim throughout the nations

God’s marvellous deeds

the wonderful acts God has performed

calling the whole of creation

on heaven and on earth

in the world and across the universe

into being

by God’s mighty Word

keeping promises with God’s people

from generation to generation

being with God’s people

in good time and in bad

Praise the Lord

Praise God’s Holy Name

you servants of God

you chosen ones, called and saved and redeemed

through the promises made

and new covenant

through Christ Jesus

who is our saviour

in whom we are saved

as we call on his name as Lord

and believe in him and his mighty deeds

in our hearts

Praise the Lord

Praise God’s Holy Name

for sending the spirit

to guide God’s people

on the right paths

even when we stray far from the route

even when our word and actions would sell is into slavery

for in God

Father, Son, Spirit

we are forgiven, redeemed

as we call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

we are saved

know the saving power of his redemption

may it assist you to proclaim

God’s marvellous deeds

the wonderful acts God has performed

as we worship, and all the days of our lives

Amen
