We are amazed at your grace.
The nations find peace in your forgiveness.
The sufferer hope in your healing hands.
The burdened rest in your promise of heaven.

Prayer of praise and adoration

My heart is filled with adoration
When I lift my eyes to you.
For you are Lord of all creation,
You make all things new.

My soul is filled with lasting peace
When I close my eyes to sleep.
For you are Lord, you're right beside me
I'm safe within your keep.

My mind is filled with inspiration
When I open my eyes anew.
For you are hope and love outspoken,
Your words are full of truth.

My life is full of aspiration
When I see through eyes that weep.
For you are Lord of the grand and broken,
May I be your hands and feet.

Psalm 63

God—you’re my God!
I can’t get enough of you!
I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
traveling across dry and weary deserts.

So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

(Psalm 63:1-4, The Message)
