Lord God Almighty
your name is the name above all names
holy, worthy of all praise and adoration
without blame, perfect, full of love
such is the holiness of your name, Lord God
some dare not speak it, for fear they would taint that most blessed of names
We can and do speak your name, the great I AM
Jehovah
for you have come to us, in and through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord
so we can know your name, speak your name, love your name
as we are made whole and renewed through Christ Jesus
we offer our praise to you, God
praise in word and song and our very beings
come, be with us this hour, through your holy spirit
bless our time with you, with one another
Lord God
assist our hearts to open to your guiding presence with us, eternal Father
accept our worship, eternal Son
move within us, eternal Spirit
ever three, ever one
We adore you, we love you
But our adoration and love are imperfect
for we are fearful of the future
what it may bring, what you may demand of us
we are fearful we have failed to live up to your commands, to love you, love your neighbour, love ourselves
we are fearful the way you call us to follow is not the route we have planned
Speak your peace to us, once more, Christ Jesus, reassure us once more of your love for us
remind us, once more, we are forgiven of all our sins and released from all our fears and doubts
time and time again
Amen
