CALL TO WORSHIP            :                       Psalm 116: 1-2, 12-19

 

I love the LORD, because God has heard my voice and my supplications.

Because the Lord’s ear has been inclined to me, therefore I will call on God as long as I live.

What shall I return to the LORD for all this bounty given to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,

I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all God’s people.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of one who was faithful in service.

O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.

I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all God’s people,

in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD!
