Lenten “My Psalm 305” February 18, 2018
With rejoicing we come, Dear Lord,
To Your sabbath, a day set aside to worship
And to rest in Your Presence.
For at Your creation of the world
You accomplished magnificence and order,
And pronounced it good
And rested on the seventh day.
We honor and bless Your Holy Name.
As Your people come together to worship,
Let us put aside all that would distracr or detract,
Let us confess our sin, find Your cleansing power,
And know with assurance that You have made us
Righteous through the sacrifice of Your Son
Who redeemed creation from the devil’s snare.
Bless those who are persecuted for Your Name’s sake.
Bless those who serve You wherever they are,
Every tribe, every nation, every people, every tongue.
Make their sanctuaries places of praise and honor
To Your Holy Name.
Where there is injustice, call Your church
To champion those who serve You mightily.
Where there is prejudice,
Cleanse tongues and attitudes that all may live in peace.
Where there is tarnishing of Your message,
Guide through the Holy Spirit to set the record straight.
Where there is sin,
Convict and bring repentance.
Where there is no hope,
Let Your Son’s words and actions reign supreme.
We pray in His Precious Name. Amen.
