Call to Worship

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you;

I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,

in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary

and beheld your power and your glory. 

Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you. 

I will praise you as long as I live,

and in your name I will lift up my hands.

Psalm 63:1-4

Eternal God, let us behold Your surpassing greatness, unspeakable goodness, and super-abundant grace. Open our eyes to see the depths of our sin, our ingratitude, our impure thoughts, and our selfishness and pride. Help us to know that He who is in us is greater than he that is in the world. Holy Spirit, lead us to the cross of Christ, where mercy and love are found. Comfort us with the confidence that Jesus cleanses us and covers our guilt and shame. Amen
