Praise our Rescuer

Heavenly Father,

You are the God of the whole of creation. You have made galaxies for your glory. You formed the stars to echo your praises. Man is but dust you have joined together. Yet you have made us a little lower than the angels. Though we are unworthy to speak your name, we exalt you. We have, each one of us, fallen into sin and rebellion. Trapped in our transgressions, we were without hope, but you had compassion on us in our helpless state. We lift our voices in song to our rescuer. Our body of death has been made new. The guilty stain on our souls has been washed whiter than snow. Praise be to God. We have been given a place as your children. So we rejoice in our appointed position. Continue to rescue us as we walk through this fallen world. Transform us each day by renewing our minds. While we live in the tension between your two comings, empower us to be your body. May your will be done in our lives, our cities, our nations, and the whole world.

In the name of the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.
