Almighty is the Lord
Great is God’s name
worthy of all our praise
Almighty is the Lord
Great is God’s name
worthy of all our devotion
Almighty is the Lord
Great is God’s name
worthy of our deepest love
for God is faithful, holy
God’s throne is established forever and ever
the mountains and hills will crumble and fall
the rivers and lochs will run dry
the sea will be where there was once dry land
yet God endures forever and ever
so who are we that we may worship the Holy One?
Who are we that we may offer these prayers?
Who are we that we may sing God’s praises?
We who were once far from God
now draw near to God’s holy presence
longing to know God more fully
longing to be filled with the Holy Spirit
longing to journey on with Christ
in whom we are joined to one another
and to all Christ’s church throughout all time and space
blending our voices, our prayers, our worship
with the saints of old
and fellow Christians in never ending worship of the Holy One
Sovereign Lord
our deepest longing, our deepest desires are met in you
we know we are not holy people
we are frail and flawed
we forget you are not confined to any building
we forget to rest patiently in you
release from our iniquity
grant to us clean hearts and minds and souls
renewed, refreshed, awakened
to be your holy temple
where the spirit lives in us
and we live in Christ all the days of our lives to your honour and glory
Amen
