From dawn to dusk
the Name of The Lord is praised
across oceans and continents
the hymn of praise ascends on high
now and forevermore
for God is everlasting
maker, shaper, constructor
of all seen and unseen
of all that was
all that is
all that is yet to be
how awesome is the One of reigns on High
reachable and knowable through
the Son
Christ Jesus?
Jesus
lift us from the dust and ashes
in which we dwell
the dust and ashes of our own making
for we have failed to be good stewards of all entrusted to us
we’ve failed to love as you call us to
we’ve looked after our own privilege at the cost of other’s
heal your people we pray
Christ Jesus
heal us in your great mercy and love
redeem us
set us right
that our praise and prayer
our lives and our witness
may be the true
holy, living sacrifices you deeply desire
send the Spirit to dwell among us
to inspire
to challenge
to comfort
in this time of worship together
and in our daily lives with you
to the glory of God
now and always
Amen
