Father, let our joy this day be serving you with overflowing gladness in all of our works and ways, for you, our Creator God, deserve our truest, highest praise.  Let us come into your presence singing songs of worship, pledging to you anew our life’s most supreme devotion.  And in our joyful service, let us show gratitude, thankful for your mercies, your enduring truth, your provision, your charming voice that calls us to your service, and most supremely for the abiding joy of our salvation.  So lead us onward to the work, Father, as we walk together in your service, lost in your supreme love and sustained by your awesome power.  We will confess and proclaim this day (and every day!) the greatness of your mercy and the wonder of your holiness.  Amen!
