Opening Prayer
“Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness….” Psalm 29:2
O God,
whose holiness is not limited to
grand cathedrals or saintly persons,
spectacular mountains or mountain-moving leaders;
O God,
whose holiness is often discovered in simple everyday places
and simple everyday folk,
plant Your holiness in this place,
in us now.
Grow us this hour,
that we might flower,
right where we are,
with the beauty of Your holiness.
Through Jesus we pray.
Amen.

Note: Next month’s theme is “Response”. Week by week I will be posting a litany based on the lectionary psalm and a sung response I’ve written specially for services in my church in Rotterdam in the month of August. The psalms are Psalm 17, 105, 133 and 124.
Get in touch if you’d like to use the litanies too. I can provide recordings and basic notation (melody line and chords).
