Calls To Worship

God’s Voice

Adapted from Numbers 23:19-22

Leader: God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.

All: Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

Leader: The LORD their God is with us, and the shout of a king is among us.

All: God brings us out of slavery and is for us like the horns of the wild ox.

Adapted from Isaiah 6:8-9

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here I am, send me!”

And he said, “Go…”

Lord of Hosts, you have sent us, we have said we’ll go. Please give us the courage to stand for you, to break the chains of injustice, and proclaim your Good News.

Adapted From Psalm 29 (NASB)

Leader: “Ascribe to the Lord, sons of the mighty,”
People: “Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.”
Leader: “Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Worship the Lord in holy attire.”

People: “The voice of the Lord is on the waters; The God of glory thunders,”
Leader: “The Lord is over many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful,”
People: “The voice of the Lord is majestic.”

All: May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Responsive Prayer from Psalm 29

Give the Lord the glory due his name;

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters:

The God of glory thunders:

The Lord is upon many waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful;

The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare.

And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

The Lord sits upon the flood; the Lord sits as King forever.

The Lord will give strength to his people;

The Lord will bless his people with peace.

(Adapted for modern liturgical use from Ps 29:1-4, 7, 8, 10-11 (KJV), Ps 29:9 (NIV))

Adapted From Psalm 50:1-6 (ESV)

Leader: “The mighty one, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

People: Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

Leader: Our God comes [and] does not keep silence, before him is a devouring fire, around him a mighty tempest.

People: He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

Leader: ‘Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!’

People: The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge!”

Leader: Let us worship the Lord!

Scott Bullock (ESV, adapted for liturgical use)

Inspired by Psalm 29, Mark 1:11, Isaiah 43:1

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters,

And in the temple God’s people say: Glory!

The heavens opened, the Spirit descended,

And a voice sounded: Your are my Beloved Son.

Do not fear, for the Lord has spoken:

I have called you by your name, you are mine.

In the beginning, darkness covered the deep, and God said: Let there be light.
