Abba, Father, you are worthy to receive all glory, honor and praise!
You speak life, and life is given. Everything that is, that was and that is to come springs forth through your creative power and by your mighty word. All things exist for your glory and by your limitless imagination; nothing exists outside of your sovereign will. All authority belongs to you, my God!
Loving Savior and LORD, Jesus, you hold all things together by your mighty power. By your strength, the sun, moon and stars give forth their light. All darkness flees before you!
The earth is held together by one word from your lips; you alone hold back the mighty seas and prevent the fires of the depths from smothering the earth and destroying the wickedness of men.
You alone speak and all creation listens; the heavens and the earth bow down before you, the seas cry out with a mighty roar and all living creatures praise your holy name forever and ever! Let everything that has breath praise you, oh LORD!
Nothing is too difficult for you! By your sovereign purpose, new life is born. You alone hold the keys to life and death; healing comes for those who trust in your name. In your right hand, life is poured out freely upon the nations. In your left hand, justice flows like fire; there is no place for your enemies to hide. You are Holy, Holy, Holy our LORD, God Almighty!
While we were lost in our transgressions, you lifted us up by your mighty hand. In our ignorance, you made yourself known to us. You opened our eyes and spoke truth into our ears. Our sin was great, but you lavished us with your love and illuminated us with the joy of your salvation. While we were far off from your tender kindness, you drew near to us by your loving grace.
You have given us a place to call home. You have adopted us as your sons and daughters. You have anointed us as heirs to your Kingdom. You have clothed us in righteousness and have lifted us up as a chosen people, a royal priesthood and holy nation - a people belonging to God.
We worship you, gracious Father! We sing hallelujah to your name! Hallelujah! Amen!
