a worship liturgy by Ruth Wilkinson
An hour is coming, and is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and Truth…
~ Jesus
Brothers and sisters, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.
This is your spiritual worship.
~ Paul
…Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit? He is in you and He is from God.
You are not your own.
~ Paul
Who is this God we worship?
He‘s the great God, creator of Heaven and Earth.
He’s the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and all that surrounds them, and of time itself.
He’s the one who calls us to Himself, and calls us to each other, and calls us to worship.
Give thanks to the Lord of Lords.
His love endures forever.
He alone does great wonders.
His love endures forever.
He made the heavens with unsurpassed skill.
His love endures forever.
He spread the land on the waters.
His love endures forever.
He made the great lights:
His love endures forever.
the sun to rule by day,
His love endures forever.
the moon and stars to rule by night.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven!
His love endures forever.
Not only is He the creator of all, but He is especially the creator of the human heart.
Of our hearts, our bodies, our imaginations.
Patterned after Himself. Lived in by Himself. Perfected by Himself.
Shaped of earth dust, breathed to life with His own Breath.
For it was You who created my inward parts;
Your love endures forever.
You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
Your love endures forever.
I will praise You because I am wonderfully made.
Your love endures forever.
My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret,
Your love endures forever.
All my days were written in Your book before a single one of them began.
Your love endures forever.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
Your love endures forever.
See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the everlasting way.
Your love is the everlasting way.
Your love endures forever.
