Approach and confession prayer 25 July 2021

All the works of the Lord

bring your praises

trees and fields

bow before the Almighty

rivers and seas

be still before the Holy One

blackbird and robin

offer your song to the King of Kings

All the works of the Lord

bring your praises

all who bow before God

God will lift up

all who stumble

the Lord will uphold

All the works of the Lord

bring your praises

of music and melody

prayer and praise

devotion and faith

where there is much you can bring

or little

Come, praise the Lord

who longs to satisfy your hunger

who longs to calm your fears

who longs relief from your burdens

of doubt and shame

of pride and selfishness

of worry and pain

and to give you all good things the Lord offers

For the Lord is faithful in all God does

the Love of the Lord endures forever

All the works of the Lord

bring your praises

for God is near to those who call on God

through Christ Jesus

Amen
