Call to Worship

As we are called into worship today,

it is sobering to remember

that when God appeared on earth in the person of Jesus,

most of the world did not recognize him

and therefore did not worship him.

Today we ask for the faith that will open our eyes

to see Jesus for who he is,

that we might worship him in truth.

People of God, behold and see your God!

We open our eyes to see his glory.

We open our ears to hear his wisdom.

We open our hands to offer him gifts.

We open our mouths to sing his praise.

We open our hearts to offer him our love.

He is Lord!
