How majestic is the Lord
a name worthy of praise and adoration throughout the whole earth
the heavens reflect God’s glory
the cries and giggles of children and toddlers
bring praises to the Lord
across the earth
Lord
we consider the universe
so much to understand
so much to explore
we will only ever grasp a small part of this knowledge
knowledge you have from the beginning of creation
the work of your fingers
moulding and shaping and forming the rules of science
the wonder of the sky above
the glory of the earth below
all is known and loved and declared good by you
for is was made through love expressed in the eternal dance
of Father
of Son
of Spirit
together
a dance you invite us
even us to join with
to join with the Trinity of love
God in three persons
as we worship today
as we serve Jesus on the way
glory and honour and praise be yours and yours alone, now and always
for who are we that we are invited of be part of your plan for this world
for your earth, Our Lord and God?
We plunder the earth’s resources
we cling to earthly kingdoms
we fail to follow Jesus’ commands
for these, and a hundred thousand ways in which we’ve failed you
we repent and seek your forgiveness
May you know, anew today, the forgiveness God the Father offers through God the Son in the power of God the spirit
through Christ Jesus we pray
Amen
