Look to the sky
the sun, the stars, the moon
even the occasional dance of aurora
declare the glory of God
no words they speak
yet their voice surrounds the earth
saying “behold the Lord God, creator of heave and earth. See God’s glory.”
the glory which is revealed to us each day and every night
calling to us to respond
in awe, in wonder, in worship
as we gather this day
we behold the glory of God
who came and lived among us
whose temple was not made of stone and wood
but flesh and blood
the glory of God
is our saviour
Christ Jesus
who we adore
who we love
who we long to love more
so come
let us worship the Lord God
bringing our offering to lay at the altar of grace
laying our burdens down at the feet of the Lamb
confessing before God
that we have sinned
by our own thoughts and deeds
in company with others
in what we have said and done
and in that which we have failed to do
Christ Jesus
we know we cannot fully discern our errors
we ask you forgive our hidden faults
and remove all our wilful sins that they may not rule over us
set us free
that we may become blameless
innocent of great transgression
through our Rock and Redeemer, we pray
Amen
