O Lord Most High, we celebrate and praise you with joy!
You are sovereign over all the earth.
You protect your people from all harm
so we can pass down the gift of your love to others.
You have raised up Jesus from the grave,
you have lifted him up into heaven,
and you have covered us with his blessing.
We praise you, we praise you, we praise you.
Teach us how to live your praises
so we can share your blessings with the whole world.
Lead the leaders of the nations into justice.
Strengthen the healers of the sick and comforters of the grieving.
Supply those who feed the hungry and shelter the homeless.
Give your grace especially to these whom we lift up into your presence…
God of our ancestors and of all people,
we celebrate you above all
as we gather our prayers and praises together
with the words of Christ, who prays with us, saying:
The Lord’s Prayer
