O God,
How do I praise you? How do I sing of your greatness?
You made the vast universe. You are the source of all that is.
My heart longs to know you more. My soul longs to find its rest in you.
Set me apart for your will. Let me glorify your name in all the earth.
How can a mortal such as I, with all my faults be in your presence?
Forgive me for the times I have fallen short of your glory.
I give thanks for the gift of life found in you,
through your Word and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
