Lord God
Beyond our imagination
beyond what our wildest dreams
Ruler of space and time
King of heaven
Lord of earth
Humbly we bow before your presence
bowing before the one who has done everything for us
from speaking the words which made the very stars, the dust of which we are from
to bringing us safe here today
that we may worship together
May our prayers, our words, our songs be acceptable in your sight, Lord God
may they blend with all creation
in adoration, deep rooted devotion
to the God who made all heaven and earth
to the God who planted us here
cleared the stones of doubt and fear
surrounded us with a protective wall of love
that we may bear good fruit
divinely blessed fruit
to you glory and honour, Redeeming Lord
Though much care has been taken with us
the fruit we produce is not always good fruit
we are envious
impatient
intolerant
prideful
we fail to strive for justice in our land
we lack righteousness in our lives
with all our sinful ways, why do you not give up on us, Lord God
Because you are a patient, loving God
who forgives us of these and the plethora of ways in which we have sinned against one another
and against you
May we know we are truly forgiven
admonished from all wrongdoing
through the saving Grace of Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen
