Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.
We come to this place of worship clapping our hands, smiles on our faces, our feet dancing the rhythm of joy! The worries and stress of our lives left behind; our hearts open to your Spirit.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
What comfort to know that we belong to you, great God of heaven and earth! We are made from your own heart, fashioned out of your love. We belong to you and you to us. We will listen to your words, do your will, and follow you all the days of our lives.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name.
Shouts of “Hallelujah!” fill our mouths and we delight in being in your presence! We sing songs of praise and thanksgiving – do you hear us? Do you feel our love pouring out from us to you, precious Lord?
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
Life is constantly changing, but you, Lord, are a firm foundation, trustworthy and true. We can depend on you. Nothing separates us from you, nothing. Your grace is our strength and your mercy is our salvation. Every praise is yours and every good word belongs to you! Hallelujah and Amen!
