Hymn #2 Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
Prayer of Adoration
Song Shout to the Lord by Darlene Zschech, copyright 1993, Wondrous Worship
Verse: My Jesus, my Savior, Lord there is none like You.
All of my days, I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty
love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength,
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.
(to chorus)
Chorus: Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing;
Power and majesty, praise to the King!
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands;
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Prayer of Confession
One: Have mercy on us, O God in your loving-kindness.
In your great compassion, cleanse us from our sin.
All: Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right
spirit within us. Do not cast us from your presence, or
take your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of
your salvation and sustain us with your bountiful Spirit,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
(based on Psalm 51: 10-12)
The Assurance of Pardon
One: Hear the good news: Christ died for us while we were
yet sinners; that proves God’s love toward us. In the name
of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
All: Glory to God. Amen!
