Loving God, as we step into this worship service, reveal to us what is righteous and good.

What a great God we serve! He is our Sustainer, our Healer, our

|
| Congregation: |
God is great!

| Leader: |
Our God is great! Greater than any disease or illness. Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless His holy name. Whatever our lot, it is well with our souls. We shall remember all your benefits towards us. We shall wait upon you. For you have promised to renew our strength and redeem our souls. We come today to say:
|
| Congregation: |
God is great!
|
| Leader: |
Our God is great! Greater than depression and despair thatcan come in the midnight hour. You are the lifter of our heads. Your word is true. Your promises are sure. For none that trust in you shall be desolate.
|

the earth, so great is your mercy and your grace towards us.
