LORD, the glory is Yours and Yours alone,
for Your unfailing love and faithfulness.
You, LORD, are the True, Living Sovereign God,
reigning over all.
Made of lifeless matter,
by mere human hands,
every idol is a dead, useless, powerless thing:
Mute –
while You are the God who speaks life;
Blind –
while You are the Omniscient God;
Deaf –
while not a word from our lips is unknown to You;
Unable to enjoy a single scent –
while You delight in the fragrance of Your creation;
Unfeeling, immobile, silent –
while You love us,
draw near to us,
and delight over us with singing.
LORD, may all who love You and worship You
come to trust You implicitly,
for You constantly help us
and protect us.
You know us by name and You will bless us –
all who honour Your Name.
LORD of heaven and earth,
bless us with hope and a future!
And while we live and breathe
we will give You thanks and praise,
now and forever.
Amen.
