PRAYER OF PRAISE
INTROIT: I Am His Child by Moses Hogan
I may not be all that you are, I may not be a shining star; but what I am, I thank the Lord for making me His child. Thank you, Lord, for hearing every prayer; thank you, Lord, for just being there; thank you, Lord, for I am not worthy of your love. So don’t use me or abuse me, for I am His child. Don’t tease me, or mistreat me, for I’m still His child. You can even talk about me. But I’m still His child.

ANTHEM: There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy by Don Michael Dicie
There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in His justice, which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in His blood. There is no place where earth’s sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth’s failings have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the faithful in the sorrows of the Lord. For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, we should take Him at His word; and our life would be thanksgiving, for the goodness of the Lord. [Frederick William Faber]
