Glorious are the works of the Lord
may we ponder them
fields of barley and tatties
hedgerow berries being to ripen
magnificent mountains
leading the eye up
every upwards
towards the One
who made heaven and earth
God
the maker and shaper and creator of all
how awesome are your works, our King
how wondrous are your deeds
who are we that your provide food for us?
Who are we that we can know your compassion and graciousness
come down to us
from heaven
in Christ Jesus?
Who are we that we can gather to worship you, in spirit and in truth?
Bringing before the One who is the bread from heaven
our whole selves
our pain and joy
our sorrow and laughter
our doubts and certainties
in humbleness and sincerity
laying what we have to offer
in prayer, in praise, in the gifts we bring for the work of the church in the world
at the throne of grace
Grace filled Spirit
move within and around us
open our hearts to your presence with us
assist us to keep our tongues from evil
our lips from lies
in humility to confesses we have sinned against you and one another
with our mouths
in our hearts
by our actions
we are truly and sincerely sorry
may we, in faith and trust, hear and know we are forgiven
through receiving the bread of heaven offered through Christ Jesus
Amen
