Calls To Worship
Seas
Adapted from Nehemiah 9:6
You alone are the Lord.
You made the heavens, even the highest heavens.
And all their starry host, the earth and all that is in it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to everything,
And the multitudes of heaven worship you.
Let us join with them and worship God’s name!
Austin D. Hill
Adapted from Psalm 24:1-4, NRSV
The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it;
for he has founded it on the seas,
and established it on the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
who do not lift up their souls to what is false,
and do not swear deceitfully.
Adapted from Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord’s
And all that is in it,
The world,
And those who live in it;
For God has found it on the seas,
And established it on the rivers.
Creator God, we praise you today for your mighty works, in all of creation, and in each of our lives.

Adapted from Psalm 65
Leader: By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation
People: You are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
Leader: You visit the earth and water it, you greatly enrich it;
You provide the people with grain, for so you have prepared it.

Adapted from Psalm 146:5-10
Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
The sea, and everything in them—
He remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed
And gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free,
The Lord gives sight to the blind,
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
The Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the foreigner
And sustains the fatherless and the widow,
But he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
The Lord reigns forever.
So humble us, O Lord, we pray as we gather to worship you.
