Hallelujah
What a great and wonderful God we have
Lord God Full of mercy and grace
We do praise you
You have revealed yourself to us as our
creator
In a mystery too great for humans to fathom
You were from before the beginning
You spoke and it came into being
The grandeur of swirling galaxies
This good earth of ours is yours
We were made in your image
To know you and to love
You have shown us that you are our provider
Every good gift comes from your hand
You make the sun to shine and the rain to
fall
The seasons turn at your design
You have been working your purposes out in
history
You speak your word into the chaos and
darkness
Calling us back to your light
You lead us and guide us
You have stepped into our world to be our
saviour
In Jesus you pitched your tent in our
neighbourhood
You dwelt with us and showed us your great
love
In Jesus life you showed us how to live
In his death we can have our sins forgiven
We can have a fresh start and a clean slate
In his resurrection we can have hope of new
and abundant life
By your spirit Jesus lives with in our
everydayness making us whole
We praise you and are aware of your
goodness and greatness
That you are light and there is no shadow
of darkness in you
We confess our sins to you, we want to get
the things that have broken our relationship with you out in the open and dealt
with.
Lord God forgive us
We have thought we knew best and gone our
own way
We have not followed your word and
commandments
On a personal scale and globally we do not
love as you love
We think more of our own needs and comfort
than other people
We are quick to judge and slow to forgive
We have not cherished the world you have
given us
We have allowed poverty and oppression to
flourish
We have done what we should not and left
undone what we should do
Gracious God have mercy on us
Thank you Lord that you are true to your
word that as we have confessed our sins you have been faithful and just and
forgiven our sins and cleansed us from all unrighteousness
Fill us afresh with you spirit
That we may walk more closely following Jesus
lead and protect us as in our journey of witness to you
To the glory of God the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit
