PRAYER OF CONFESSION
We expect to be part of the host surrounding the throne, singing endlessly our praise to You. In truth, we edge ever closer to the outside of that circle, and despair. We become consumed with actions that do not bring Your glory, We bring praise and honor that is rightfully Yours to the earthly powers of this land And say Amen in the face of injustice. We spend days in darkness, and when the call comes We answer it with our weakness and fear. Be strong with us, Lord. Teach us that Your patience is powerful, But so is Your love that drives us, spurs us on to the fulfillment of Your Kingdom. Teach us action; teach us faith that speaks to our failings. Hear our confession as a sign of our desire to serve only You As revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Jesus, the Saviour, reigns: the God of truth and love; When he had purged our stains, he took his seat above: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, rejoice, again I say, rejoice. His kingdom cannot fail; he rules oer earth and heaven, The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus given: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, rejoice, again I say, rejoice. He sits at Gods right hand till all his foes submit, And bow to his command and fall beneath his feet: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
- text by Charles Wesley (1703-1791)
