Holy God
Mighty and majestic
we thank you we can know you
we can praise you
we can feel your presence with us
every day of our lives
through the companionship of the Holy Spirit
how we long for others to know the joy knowing you brings
a deep joy, which passes all understanding
a deep joy, which knows no bounds
a deep joy, where love overflows into every aspect of life
praise God, thanks be to God that we know this joy in our lives
Living One
we praise and thank you for coming, Incarnate, to be with us
to show us a better way of living
where the Kingdom of God allows all to flourish
to know life in all its fullness
we bring before you those where life is limited
the Dad, holding down 2 jobs to keep his family together
the Wife, not sleeping, as she worries about her ill husband
the Child, bullied at school for being different
the shop worker, facing redundancy
the friend, wondering why their best friend took their own life
the sister, supporting their sibling whose baby died the dame day he was born
the nurse, who feels they are so busy they cannot care for their patients as they’d like
[pause]
the list goes on and on, Living One
some of these situations are known to us,
some are not
but we know they are all know to you
so with faithful and hopeful hearts,
we offer all places, people and situations
where life is not know in its fullest
[pause]
Life Giving one
We praise and thank you for all your blessings in our lives
may we use the blessings we have to bring your blessings to others, in this place
to create just a wee bit of the Kingdom of God
through Christ our Lord, we pray
Amen
