Calling Song “Bless His Holy Name” TFWS #2015

Responsive Reading from Psalm 90
Leader: Relent Lord! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
People: Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may
sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Leader: Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
People: May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
All: May the favor of the Lord rest upon us.

Unison Invocation
Please do not grow weary of us, O God, as we again open before you the dark and difficult
places of our hearts and seek your healing power. Use this gathering to guide us into humility and gratitude, restore our souls to singing and our hearts to loving. Help us to press on in the way you have shown us through Jesus until we know in our very being that nothing can separate us from your love. In his name we pray. Amen.
