Corporate Prayer of Praise and Adoration - April 2010

I will praise you, O LORD, with all of my heart; 
      I will sing your praise before all the inhabitants of Heaven.

I will bow down toward your holy temple 
       and praise your name because of your love and faithfulness, 

because - above all things – you’ve exalted
       your name and your word.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD,
   because they will hear the words of your mouth,

They will sing of  the your ways,
   because of the greatness of Your glory. 

Today, our Father, we rejoice to be a small part of this praise –

we, who were once blasphemers and rebels, now join You in prizing and exalting Your Name and Your Word above all things. 

As the millennia pass, stars fall from the sky and mountains are ground to dust but Your glory, wisdom, righteousness, power, goodness, and holiness will shine as brightly then as the day You created light itself. 

Generation follows generation and the wisdom of man goes with him into the ground, but the words that You have spoken, which cannot fail, stand and stand forever.

The nations foam and rage, the heathen rise up like waves against You, but they do these things in vain.  All together they are like dust on the scales before You.  Your Son is already their King, and they will confess - along with every tongue-  what we are gathered here to confess today: 

Worthy is the Lamb, Who was slain and has redeemed us to God by His blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing forever and ever.  Amen.
