Oh Lord our God, you are a God of power.
Your mighty hand extends across the earth
Raises mountains, carves valleys.
Your majestic voice echoes through all creation
Shouts in thunder, whispers in the rain.
Your sovereign will governs all events
Hardens hearts, softens souls.
Glory be to God and to the Son!
Oh Lord our God, you are a God of beauty.
Your music resounds in the heavens:
“The Lord is good, sing to Him forever.”
Your creation reflects your glory
Dances in joy, bows down in worship.
Your favor is more desirable than the world
Your presence sweeter, your love richer.
Glory be to God and to the Son!
Oh Lord our God, you are a God of justice.
Your law calls me to righteousness.
My heart is stained; cleanse me, Jesus.
Your anger burns against disobedience.
My flesh is warring; deliver me, Jesus.
Your glory consumes all sin.
My soul is sinful; cover me, Jesus.
Glory be to God and to the Son!
Oh Lord our God, you are a God of mercy.
Your forgiveness is deep
For my sin was deep.
Your grace is providential
For the Word became flesh.
Your love is firm and boundless
For the Cross showed your love toward us.
Glory be to God and to the Son!
He died so that I might also die with Him.
He lives so that I might also live in Him.
He has been seated at the right hand of the Father
And been glorified above all other things.
Glory be to God and to the Son!
By your Name I am free to worship
So in freedom I will worship Your Name.
Glory be to God and to the Son!
This reads like a psalm. This is really some beautiful writing. Thanks for sharing this!
Wow. That reminds me of a responsive reading, like from the book of common prayer or something. Powerful.
