Lord God
God of the light and the dark
Day and the night
Creator of Immense galaxy swirl
And delicate fern furl
God of the peaceful calm and the raging
storm
God in plentiful times and God when it’s
all lean and gone
When we are empty and when life is full
We praise you for your goodness and your
greatness.
Our circumstances dictate our emotions and
sometimes Hallelujah is the word furthest from our lips
Praise you and thank you are the furthest
from our minds
Yet when we stop and remember we know that
you have showered us with your blessings and grace
The world You made, in all its beauty and
complexity
Each of us with our uniqueness you put
together in our mother’s womb
We were lost and dead in our sins
Yet to you were treasured and missing
So you sent us a shepherd to seek us out
Your son Jesus full of mercy and grace
Not to chastise and to brow beat
Not and idol of wood or metal
But a real human being real flesh, blood
bone and skin
Who gave up his life for us
Paid the penalty for all our sin
Jesus invites us to journey following him
Eat with you abide with you
To be filled with your spirits presence
To come live at your place when our
wandering is through
From first to last
We are truly blessed
Forgive us our sins lord
Our pride in the face of your humility
Our unlove in the light of your love
Our unforgiving when you have forgiven us
Our wanting more in the midst of your
freely giving
People hear the wonderful good news
As we confess our sins God is faithful and
just and forgives us our sins and cleanses us of all wrongdoing
God fill us a fresh with you spirit leas us
into all truth
Enable us to love and to bless with a
Christlike love
And live to the glory of God: Father, Son
and Spirit
Amen
