Call To Worship: Lord of All Our Days
O God, You are Lord of all our days and all our nights.
Every star in heaven answers Your call
and offers their joyful obedience.
As we come to worship You today,
stir our hearts to respond to You in like manner.
As we end one week and begin another
grant us the peace of knowing we belong to You.
Open our eyes to see the security of Your sovereignty
and the wonders of Your love.
To Your care we commend our souls.
To Your will we bow our own.
To Your grace we happily surrender,
receiving from You what we have not deserved.
Now we raise our glad hallelujahs!
Now we offer You all glory and praise!
O Creator God, be blessed to receive our most grateful thanksgivings.
Let every heart shout it aloud, Amen! Amen!
Classic Prayer: Thomas Watson
O God, you are our God: our strong tower, our fountain of living water, our Father, a Father of mercies, an everlasting Father in heaven. O God, you are our God, by your grace planted in us, and by the pledge of your Spirit. May he stamp the imprint of holiness in our hearts; embroidering and bespangling our souls, making them glorious within. May he, by his magnetic virtue, draw our hearts to you: our paradise of delight and our chief treasure! May our hearts be so chained to you that nothing else can enchant us or draw us from you. Though our flesh be on earth, may our hearts be in heaven. When you say to our souls, “You are mine,” may our souls answer: “Lord, we are yours; all I have is at your service; my head shall be yours to study you; my tongue shall be yours to praise you. O God, you are our God…
