The grace of Your goodness
You bestow upon us, dear Lord,
In nothing but kindness.
Your richness of love provides for us.
Your merciful compassion allows for us.
Your patient tolerance forgives us.
Your longing for our belonging restores us.
Your commands are everything wise.
Our Provider, Protector, Healer, Helper,
Our Redeemer Saviour Restorer to life,
A life in the fullness of faith,
Our real joy, a total happiness, is in You.

“ ‘For the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended’.”
Isaiah 60 v 20
For faith carries an eternal promise.
You are an almighty Trinity
Whose supremacy is love above all else.
It is Your love which transforms life for us.
The knowledge and experience of this
Is the sure blessing of faith and prayer.
How we praise and thank You.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit we bow before You,
Honour and esteem Your steadfast loving kindness.
Where would we be without this?
Life to us is both now and eternally
The grace of Your goodness gifted.
Indeed You are to be honoured, most wonderful Lord.

“ ‘Also your people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of
My hands that I may be glorified’.” Isaiah 60 v 21

“I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. May my meditation
be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the LORD.” Psalm 104 v 33, 34

For “The grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in
1 Timothy 1 v 14 Christ Jesus.” Thank You, Father, for the life offering grace of Your goodness, all that You so
wonderfully do for us. Faith and love must be our most prized possessions, Lord, for this is where
we find life. The fullness of life You offer us is in the love of the Lord Jesus who lived and died and
rose again for us. Our belief in Him shapes our life of praising. What joy there is in this, in looking
beyond ourselves, thank You. “ ‘And it shall come to pass that from one
Isaiah 66 v 23 New Moon to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me’.” Make it soon, Lord,
make it soon.
Please send Your Spirit, that Holy Spirit which so animated the Lord Jesus, please send the Spirit
to breathe a new life of faith, of prayer, of honouring and praising into us. Take away
