The amazing love of God


"Your love is amazing,

Steady and unchanging,

Your love is a mountain, firm beneath our feet."

 

We praise and thank you for the

Many ways you reveal yourself to us

 

In creation which speaks of your power and your gentleness

Of your love of growth and renewal.

 

In the signs of grace we witness in your people

who are made in your image

 

And in the gift of your Word

Which despite its great age

Remains a living letter of love

Never losing its power,

its ability to transform us

and to bring us towards wholeness.

 

We thank you for the complexity of your Word

For the simplicity of your Word

For the constant surprises we find in your Word

For the way we meet you in your Word

 

"Your love is amazing,

steady and unchanging,

Your love is a mountain, firm beneath our feet.

 

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Your love makes us sing"

We praise you.

Amen.

 

(With grateful acknowledgement to Brian Doerkson and Brenton Brown for first and two last stanzas taken from the song “Your love is Amazing (Hallelujah)” This prayer is best used following that song in worship.
