God on High

You are the great one, O God. Worthy are you to receive our praises. You ruleth on High with a mighty arm, ready to save. Your eye watches your congregation. You guard them with love and strength. You disperse your enemies and bring them down to the dust. But those who look to you are safe. They live and do not die. They awake to the morning’s light and take joy in the work of their hands.

We adore you today because you have been our God. We gather together to unite our hearts in praise. And we ask that you would give us the grace to worship you in spirit and truth. Let us mimic the angels as they fall before you. Let us offer the sacrifices of reverence and contrition.

We are your servants O God, and we call upon your name. Let your glory now be exalted and your being manifested among us.
