Great is the Lord
Great is the Lord
exalted over the nations
the nations tremble at the feet of the One
who brings Good News
who reigns in heaven
and on earth
Great is the Lord
Great is the Lord
worthy of all our worship
worthy of all our offerings
worthy of our whole lives
Great is the Lord
Great is the Lord
Let everything which has breath, praise the Lord
The King of Heaven
at whose feet we bring forth our tributes
for God is Holy
Holy and Just
A lover of justice
a keeper of promises
a forgiver of sins
Let us fall,
fall at the footstool
of the One to whom we owe all we have
all we are
all we can and will be
As we bow, in reverence and fear
we lay our burdens down
and offer our confession for the ways we have failed one another, and you, Lord God
we have not lived up to the expectations you have placed on our lives
we have placed unfair expectations on others
we are ashamed we have not lived the gospel as we ought
in our confession, we cry out to you, Lord Jesus Christ
Save us from defeat
save us from despair
cleanse our sins and
guide us, in your great mercy and love
back onto the paths of righteousness
for your name’s sake
Amen
