opportunity to worship Thee is denied no man but that every
man and woman and child who believes can fall down and worship Thee. Lord, we come to Thee pleading no merits of our
own. At best we are but poor feeble worms of dust, asking
mercy that Thou abide with us. Sanctify our whole being. We
know that we are short, Lord, but we are coming up to the
throne of mercy pleading that Thou will make us the kind of
servants that Thou would have us be. Banish from our minds
everything that destroys our faith in Thee.
(2) Oh God, our Heavenly Father, we come to Thee this
morning, so thankful that Thou hast allowed us the privilege of
coming before Thee. Thankful, O Lord, that Thou hast called
us the sons of God. Thankful, that Thou hast chosen us out of
the world to be Thy followers and hast led us in the paths of truth
and light.
(3) Dear Lord, we are gathered here this blessed morning to
sing praises to Thee and ask Thy forgiveness of our many sins
since we gathered together on last Sunday morning. We want to
thank Thee for all Thy blessings bestowed upon us. Help us
always to be thankful of Thy kindness. Guide our footsteps
toward right and righteousness always. Give us strength to go
forward in life and do the world's work for Thee. Bless all that
are gathered here this morning. Bless those that are afflicted.

(1) We have come today, Father, into Thy Holy presence.
We pray, Father, that as we gather here, we shall be conscious
of Thy abiding presence, and that there shall be great rejoicing
because Thou art with us. Abide with us. We thank Thee for
this privilege.
(2) Lord, our Heavenly Father, we meet with you this morning to give Thee thanks for the past blessings Thou hast bestowed
upon us. We pray Thee sincerely for help; get into our wondering minds and faltering steps. We earnestly pray your blessings
upon this great congregation. We pray Thy blessings upon the
choir, preaching the gospel through song. Help them wake up
to the understanding of their duty. We ask Thy blessings upon
the personnel of this church.
