Call to Worship –
Call to Worship
Lord God, loving Friend and Parent,
You deserve our worship, our love and our devotion,
Because You have entered our broken world,
You have joined us on our journey of pain and
happiness, of sorrow and joy.
We praise You, O God.
We celebrate Your coming to us,
Not with political power or military might,
Not with glamour or fame or wealth,
But in humility and love, gently and with great
compassion.
We praise You, O God
Hymn – Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Lord, we lift up your name, with hearts full of praise.
Be exalted, O Lord my God – hosanna in the highest
Glory, glory, glory to the King of kings;
Glory, glory, glory to the King of kings;
Lord, we lift up your name, with hearts full of praise.
Be exalted, O Lord my God – glory to the King of kings.
