God, Most High
The One who reigns on heaven and earth
let all creation be glad
the song thrush and the blue whale
the mountain and the loch
let all creation bow
in worship
before the throne of God
the throne, which is built on righteousness and justice
judging with love and compassion
all the peoples
that everyone may see God’s glory
may we see that glory today
in our worship
and in our daily living
ever praising the Lord’s holy name
which is above all names
and brings joy to upright hearts
Lord God
Father, Son, Spirit
bring joy to our hearts today
we rejoice we may know you
through Jesus, the Son
we delight we are filled with light
through the Holy Spirit
what wonder it is to know you
as our God and King
even though, as we come before your throne
we know there’s times our hearts have not been upright
we’ve been prisoners of the aye been, and long to break those chains
we’ve been prisoners of unjust systems, and long to break those chains
we’ve been prisoners of our own past hurts and mistakes, and long to break those chains
we pray
with earnest and humble hearts
we pray
and offer all our sins at your throne
Lord God
knowing in your great mercy
you will judge us with compassion
breaking the chains which would bind us
that we may worship and witness to your glory
through Jesus
Amen
