To you, O God, belongs eternal praise,
All your creatures will praise you
All the earth will sing of your great love
So we join our voices this morning with
your creation
We raise our voices with the dawn chorus of
this land of birds
We Join our praises with your people down
through the ages.
We will tell of your greatness
We will speak of your goodness
Hallelujah
To You, O God, belongs eternal praise
The land we live in reflects the wonder of
your creation,
The sea in raging storm speaks of your awesome
power
The peace you bring is reflected in times
of sun sparkled stillness
Your provision in the richness of the soil
and life giving rain
Your providence in the riches of this land
of ours
Your grandeur in the bush clad hills and
snow-capped ranges
Your eternal nature in the vast star fields
of the clear night sky
Your love reflected in a mother caring for
her child
Hallelujah
To You O God belongs eternal praise
The bounty you provide for us speaks of
your goodness
We have enough to eat, more than enough
We have shelter from the cold and the rain
We are clothed for the seasons
We make ends meet and can share with the
poor
We are loved by family and friends
We have family and friends and stranger to
love in return
In your call to serve you we have meaning
and purpose
Hallelujah
To You O God belongs eternal praise
The grace we have received from you is so
amazing
We had turned our back on you but you
didn’t write us off
You sent your son Jesus to be one of us and
show your love
He is the good shepherd who came looking
for the lost
He healed the sick proclaimed good news to
the poor
He welcomed home the outcast and called the
sinner to repent
He is the good friend who laid his life
down for us
In Christ’s life death and resurrection we
have been set free
Hallelujah
To you, O God, belongs eternal praise
We come before you and confess our sin
We have not cared for creation, as we
should,
It has been exploited and its bounty has
not be shared out to all
We have been silent and inactive and let
injustice bloom and grow
We have not loved as we should
We confess that we have not freely given as
you freely give
We have done things that you told us not to
We have left undone the good you call us to
do
Have mercy lord
Forgive our sins we pray
We do not deserve your love but you give it
to us
As we confess ours sin you have been
faithful and just and forgiven us,
You have cleansed us from all wrong
Pour out your spirit afresh upon us this
morning
Lead us into all truth that we may know you
more
Empower us to bear witness to you O Lord
Enable us to love as you love
May our lives bring honour to your name
Hallelujah
To you, O God, belongs eternal praise
