See the one who is the alpha and omega
the beginning and end of all that was, and is and is yet to be
see the one, the Lord God, seated on his throne, ruler of all the earth
This is our risen Christ
the one who loves us and sets us free
the one who breathes his holy spirit on us
the one who offers his wounds for us to touch and see
that we may know the Christ as our Lord and king
that we may bow, at his throne, in praise and adoration
joining our song with the angels and archangels
with saints and the church throughout the world
in devotion without end
May it be sweet, as the best of honey
may it be luscious, as finest of wines
may it be pleasing, as the select of foods
for we wish our prayers, our words, our songs to be all that is holy and worthy and true
acceptable in your sight our Lord God
for we are your children and our deepest desire is to show our love, for you in all we say and do this hour
accept our worship this hour, bless it by your presence here with us, in your holy spirit
guide our hearts and minds to the joy of knowing our Christ, our Lord comes to us
where doors are locked
because we have betrayed God in thought, word or deed
because we have had doubts, in ourselves and in our faith
because we have been afraid of to tell the world of the great things God has done for it
yet Christ comes into those locked places, when we least expect it
he offers his peace and forgives us anew, calling us to follow him, our Lord, our God
Amen
