Get up and praise the Lord

We all cry out, "You are worthy, God"
"You are worthy, God"

To the Lamb who was slain
As atonement for us

For the tears, for the blood
That was willingly poured
For the merciful, wonderful

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Out of the silence, the roaring lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me

Prayers

Confession of Sin-Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933)-based on 1 Kings 17
American author, poet, academic, clergyman and diplomat

All: (Palms down) Most holy and merciful Father; we acknowledge and confess before You our sinful nature and all our shortcomings and offenses. We are prone to evil and slothful to do good.

You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from Your way, in wasting Your gifts, in forgetting Your love. But You, O Lord, have mercy on us, who are ashamed and sorry for all we have displeased You in. Teach us to hate our errors, cleanse us from our secret faults, and forgive our sins for the sake of Your dear Son.

And O most holy and loving Father, help us to live in Your light and walk in Your ways, according to the commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Hear the Gospel of Christ - (1 John 1:5, 7, 9; 2:1-2) 

Leader: (Palms Up) This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all... If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin...

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness... We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 

Confession 
PCUSA Book of Common Worship Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 1993; p. 88 

Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judgment. Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in Your likeness and image, through Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Amen. 

Assurance of God’s Love

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Prayer of Petition - Sarum Primer (Salisbury, England) 1558

God be in my head, and in my understanding. God be in mine eyes, and in my looking. God be in my mouth, and in my speaking God be in my heart, and in my thinking. God be at mine end, and at my departing.

Prayer of St. Ephrem of Edessa (306-373)
Christian Deacon, Theologian, and Hymnogrypher

O Lord and Master of my life, spare me from the spirit of apathy and meddling, of idle chatter and love of power. Instead, grant to me, Your servant, the spirit of integrity and humility, of patience and love. Yes, O Lord and God, grant me the grace to be aware of my sins and not to judge others, for You are blessed, now and ever and forever. Amen.

Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) - Italy

Grant me grace, O merciful God, to desire ardently all that is pleasing to You, to examine it prudently, to acknowledge it truthfully, and to accomplish it perfectly, for the praise and glory of Your name. Amen.

Prayer of St Benedict (6th Century)

All: Gracious and holy Father, grant us the intellect to understand You, reason to discern You, diligence to seek You, wisdom to find You, a spirit to know You, a heart to meditate upon You.

May our ears hear You, may our eyes behold You, and may our tongues proclaim You. Give us grace that our way of life may be pleasing to You, that we may have the patience to wait for You and the perseverance to look for You.

Grant us a perfect end: Your holy presence, a blessed resurrection and life everlasting. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) - Italy
Catholic friar, deacon, philosopher, mystic and preacher

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace:
-where there is hatred, let me sow love;
-where there is injury, pardon;
-where there is doubt, faith;
-where there is despair, hope;
-where there is darkness, light;
-where there is sadness, joy. 

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive, 
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, 
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. 

Prayer of St. Ignacious of Loyola (1491-1556) - Spain
Priest and Theologian. Founder of the Jesuit Order. 

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my entire will; all I have and call my own. You have given all to me; to You, Lord, I return it. Everything is Yours; do with it what You will. Give me only Your love and Your grace. That is enough for me. Amen.

Episcopal Prayer in Suffering 

God, You are my help and comfort; Would You shelter and surround me in love so tender that I may know Your presence with me, now and always. Amen.

Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
America Reformed Theologian and Professor

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Prayer in Suffering:  2 Corinthians 12:9

He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
