Humbly, we bow before your throne, God of the universe
humbly, we come into this place where heaven and earth meet
this place which is ordinary, plain, familiar
this place made holy and special in and through your presence with us in the Holy Spirit
[pause]
as we gather
enter our hearts, God of love
as we gather
accept our prayers, God of grace
as we gather
accept our songs, God worthy of praise
for you are the one we honour
you are the one we worship
you are the one we give ourselves to
in humble service
to the One who loves us, redeems us, sustains us
worthy are you oh God
worthy of all we are, all we have, all our adoration
in this place, where heaven and earth meet
[pause]
Ruler of Heaven and Earth
of all seen and unseen
of all that was and is and is yet to come
release us anew from all which burdens or worries us
all which limits our love of you, ourselves and other
all which causes us to sin
release us through the power of your love revealed in Christ Jesus, your Son, our Saviour, Sibling, Friend
that we may be the people we are called to be
that we may worship in spirit and in truth
this day and forevermore
Amen
