How majestic on all the earth
is the Lord’s name
heaven and earth proclaim God’s glory
through the pattern of the stars at night
the passing of the sun by day
set in place by God the Father
through the Son and Spirit
the triune God
who we are honoured to know in Jesus
we, mere mortals
humans
who are we to know this splendour?
To be crowned by God with honour and glory?
We bow
at the Lord’s throne
in awe and wonder
God loves us
cares for us
comes to us
today
in our song and quietness
in our prayer and praise
by the power of the spirit
may our worship be a delight for the Lord
and, as we worship
we reflect on how we have fallen short of the honour and glory God bestows on us
we’ve failed to be good stewards of creation
we’ve cling to patterns of the past, rather than stepping into the future
we’ve not treated others as they are also made in God’s image
we’ve fallen and stumbled into the patterns of the world, rather than the kingdom of God
so we pause to confess our sins
[pause]
Jesus
assist us to know again today
that we are forgiven
and called to follow you
as your servants and siblings
Amen
