Lift Your Eyes to God!

Lift your eyes to God:
in the highest heavens, we see your glory, Great Creator.
Reach out your hands to Jesus:
in the compassion of an enemy, we know your love, O Christ.
Feel the breathe of the Spirit:
in our sinews and in our souls, the Spirit whispers hope.
Let us worship the God who reigns,
by entering the depths of our humanity
and setting the humble soaring on the wings of the Spirit
for the sake of eternity.

The Labour is God's!

God remembers your labour, brothers and sisters;
you work night and day, so that you might not be a burden
as you proclaim the Word of God.
God is our witness:
we have sought to be upright and blameless.
You urge and encourage the leading of a life worthy of God.
Like a father with his children,
we call each other to God’s glorious realm.
You have received the Word of God,
not as a human word but as what it really is, God's Word,
which is also at work in you as believers.
We pray that God remains at work in us
for it is not we, but God who labours
and brings God’s realm to birth.
It is indeed God who gives birth to new life within us.
Let us proclaim our God!

Your Coming Is Not In Vain!

Sisters and brothers, you’re coming here is not in vain!
Though our faith is ignored and rejected by others,
with courage, we worship God!
You do not come with deceit or impure motives.
With God as our witness, we come to worship God!
So deeply do you care for each other
that you come to share the Gospel again and again.
God calls us to gentle witness as apostles of Christ.
So, let us worship God!

A Call to Worship for Transfiguration (Year B)

God speaks: the earth is summoned.
God comes: fire and tempest surround.
God calls: “Gather my faithful ones!”
Tested in storm and flame,
we assemble to declare God’s glory.
(cf Psalm 50:1-6)
