We bow before you, Lord God
bow before you in awe and wonder
at your majesty
bringing ourselves
our offering
our worship
before you today
singing hymns and psalms
listening to your Word
offering our prayers
for in you we have hope and a future
in you we have received mercy and love
much, much more than we deserve
much, much more than we can ever repay or truly honour
what wonder it is you bring us together
at this time, in this place
that we can unite in our worship through the power of the spirit
in and around us
for it is a blessing when people come together in unity
joined by our faith in the living Christ Jesus
in our adoration and our service
humbly
we bring all we have
all our joys and all our sorrows
in the knowledge you understand them all
and accept us
in your great mercy
you accept us
and all we bring today
Accepting Christ
in your life, you revealed clearly the great mercy of God
reveal it to us, again, today
for we are in need of your forgiving mercy
as we’ve been disobedient to your Way
separating ourselves from your covenant of grace
in our sin
forgive us, we pray
in your great mercy, forgive us
[pause]
the mercy of God is for you
receive that mercy
know you are forgiven
and called back to obedience
in and through Christ Jesus
Amen
