Adapted from Isaiah 56

Leader: Thus says the Lord: “Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon My salvation will come, and My deliverance will be revealed.

People: “To those who keep My sabbath, who choose the things that please Me and hold fast My covenant, I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

Leader: “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to Me, to love the name of the Lord, and to be My servants…

People: “These I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

Leader: “For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Let us now worship the God of all nations, the God of all people.

Inspired by Psalm 55

Leader: Come, bring all that you are to God who hears our prayers and does not hide from our supplication.
People: God is more faithful than our closest companions.

Leader: Call upon God, our Savior, for he hears your voice and will redeem you. Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you.
All: Let us trust in and worship our God together.
