Faithful God
You always keep your promises
Your love for us is strong and constant
There is no other like you
This morning we come to worship you
We praise you for who you are
And we give you thanks for what you have
done
You are eternal and almighty, all knowing
and all loving
Before the mists of the beginnings you were
Long after it all winds up and finishes you
will be
There is nothing that is too hard for you
There is nothing that is hidden away from
your sight
You are always just and kind in your
dealings with us
We deserve your enmity for sin but
you have showed us mercy
You made us in your image
The best of who we are male and female,
reflects your goodness
Our creativity and artistry reflects your
amazing creation,
You spoke and it came in to being
Our understanding, reflects just a glimpse
of your wisdom
Our ability to love and have compassion
your grace and mercy
We praise you we are wondrously and
fearfully made
We turned away from you and you sent your
son to call us back
In Jesus you became one of us and dwelt in
our midst
You proclaimed good news to the poor and
Healed the sick
You called the outcast and sinner back to
friendship with God
Our sins are forgiven because of Jesus
death on the cross
We have new and eternal life because you
raised him from the dead
By your spirit you dwell within us
Just and righteous God
We confess before you that we have sinned
We do not love as you love
We have broken our promises
We have broken relationships
We do not value your image in others
We leave undone the good you call us to do
We ask O God that you would forgive us
There is hope O Lord because of your great
love
There is hope for us O Lord because of your
Son Jesus
If we confess our sins you are faithful and
just and forgive us our sins
You cleanse us from all unrighteousness and
make us new
Today we hear that good news
We are forgiven and invited to make a clean
start
Fill us afresh with you spirit O Lord
Help us to reflect you more clearly to all
around us
Bind us together in love
Empower us to witness to you and your
gospel goodness
That the world you love may know you more
That we may work with you to see your
kingdom come
To the glory of God, Father Son and Holy
Spirit.
