God of the Universe
Glorious are your works
Wondrous are your deeds
Marvellous are your acts
in them, your purpose is revealed
for they were breathed forth the power of Love
Your creative Word shaping and forming
all there is
all there was
all there shall be
may your glory, your marvellous presence be with us this hour
look into our hearts and know,
despite our shortcomings,
despite our flaws,
despite our failings
our deepest desire is to worship you
to know your blessing in our lives
to put down deep roots into the living water you offer
that, in good times and in bad, we may drink of that water and be fruitful for your kingdom
Kingdom Enacting Christ
humbly we bow before you
knowing there are times where we have followed the ways of the world rather than you Way
our roots have been shallow
we have failed to bear fruit
take pity on us,
we know you look to our hearts and know our true selves
there is no hiding from you
take our hearts and where they are hardened, melt them
melt them for love
that we may know your blessings
and not your curses
fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit
that we may truly worship this day
in this hour and in the fruit we bear for the world
Amen
