Lord, hear our prayer:

Heavenly Holy Father, we worship you, the one true living God who is very real, very near, and present and active in the world that Christ died to heal. We seek to praise you in the words we speak, the songs we sing and the lives we live. Lord, you are wiser than all our words, more beautiful than all our songs and more loving than our lives will ever be. We have come to celebrate your glory and to declare that you are worthy of the worship that streams to you from one end of time to the other. Like your Son, we come before you to worship you, our Father and our God.

Amen.
