once again just a simply prayer for our church service this week.
What great love you have for us God,
We are fearfully and wonderful made, each unique one off’s
You know us so well, you saw us in our mother’s wombs
While some of us might want to have words with you about it
The psalmist tells us you even know the number of hairs on our head
You know our comings in and going out, our times are in your hands
You know our needs even before we ask you
And you see the deep hidden things at the very core of us,
Both the good and prise worthy and the pains and wounds of our heart
What great love you have for us
What great love you have shown us
We had gone our own way and turned our backs
Yet you sent your son to make a way for us to come back to you
Jesus emptied himself and became one of us, a servant
Preached and proclaimed Good news to the poor
Healed the sick and set the captives free,
Gave sight to the blind, both physical and spiritual
He willing gave up his life for the forgiveness of our sins,
Being betrayed and falsely accused, he dies on the cross
But you raised him to life again and he is seated at your right hand
What great love you have shown us
What great love we experience from you
In Christ’s death and resurrection, we are forgive and have new life,
We know your abiding presence because you have sent your Holy Spirit
That fulness of life is eternal because it is lived in you, eternal God
We were distant and estranged, you called us together as your people
Brothers and sister in Christ, with those next to us and round the world
You provide our needs through the wonder of your creation
You provide for our needs in answering our prayers
We find meaning and purpose in serving you by loving others
What great love we experience from you
Your faithful love is new every morning
So today we come and ask your forgiveness
We have done things that you have said we should not
We have left undone the good you have told us to do
We acknowledge that we have sinned forgive us Lord we pray
Because you are faithful we know we are forgiven and made new
Today we ask for a fresh filling of your spirit
Today we ask that you may help us to love as Christ loved
Today we say glory to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Your faithful love is new every morning
