Prayer of Praise

Oh, God, our God,

In our hearts, 

In our minds,

In our very souls

is a never imagined gratitude

for all that you are in our lives

And in the lives of those around us.

We offer our praise.

We know that the praise we offer

will be a pale return 

for what you have given to us.

For the grace you shower on us.

For the forgiveness that change our lives.

For the love that shows us who you are.

All that we have that matters is from you.

We have nothing to offer except our pale praise.

Inhabit our praise 

so that it is worthy.

Sing with us so that our song

is pleasing to you.

Help us to pray,

so that our prayers are lifted to your ears.

Inhabit our worship.

Oh, God, our God,

You love us in ways we cannot imagine

Or understand

Or grasp.

Help us to love you

Help us to love others

in ways that reflect

our grateful we are to you.

Amen.
