We approach you, God..

Leader: Most wonderful God, we approach you with our little lives, our tiny minds and our large ignorance,

People: But also with our purest longings and hopes.

L: We want to worship you with all that we have and are,

P: But unless you encourage and assist us,

L: We will fail in this our holiest intention.

P: Therefore please let your Spirit move in our hearts and minds,

L: Lifting us above things of secondary importance,

P: And concentrating our whole being on your love and beauty.

Holy is the Lord

L: Holy is the Lord!

P: God’s love pours down upon us.

L: Let the name of the Lord be praised!

P: With our hearts and our spirits, we raise our voices joyfully in praise of God’s mighty presence in our lives.

L: Let our voices praise God continually.

P: Let all that we do and say and think reflect our love of God.
