Psalm 47 (NRSV)
God has gone up with a shout
Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with loud songs of joy.
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
Selah
God has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the king of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm.
God is king over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted.
Psalm by Bill Lynch
Sing loudly birds of the air
Rejoice all creatures walking
Clap and sing you waves of the sea
Jet engines roar with praise
Locomotives move with power
Generators bring to life bright lights
God is our Father
Jesus our King
Spirit our Sustainer
Churches gather and worship God
Assemblies speak God's Word Clearly
Christ has brought salvation to all
Prayer
No doubt about it you are awesome, Triune God! Hear the world's shout of praise, honor and glory. Your faithful reach out to touch you and you embrace us. All glory is yours alone... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
