Holy God, we gather this Sunday morning as people who have been redeemed by the blood of your Holy Son to join the heavenly host in unceasing praise. We lift our eyes and our hearts from the distractions of this world to behold your majesty, entering your presence with awe as we worship the One who sits upon the throne.

Almighty God, who is seated on the throne in heaven, we worship you as the Holy of Holies, Eternal God, Creator and Sustainer of life. Along with the living creatures and the elders, we bow down to declare that you alone are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power, for you created all things and we exist by your sovereign will. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

We praise you Son of God, Son of Man, Emmanuel, the Lion of Judah, the slain Lamb, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for your holy and perfect sacrifice, redemption from sin’s mastery over us and condemnation. You have purchased us with your blood even though we were, we are and we will ever be unworthy of your grace, lovingkindness and tender mercies. Though at this moment, we don’t see and hear the roar of worship of the heavenly beings and our brothers and sisters from every tribe, tongue, and nation, we look forward to that day when we can worship you prostrate on the ground for you alone are worthy of all of our praises and worship. You are supremely worthy.

From being enemies of God, darkened in our hearts, condemned to eternal destruction to now being the children of God, enlightened and indwelt by the Holy Spirit who is the guarantee of our eternal inheritance, a kingdom and priests to our God. From being a people who will instantly perish even now in your holy presence to beholding your HOLY FACE and continue living another moment to keep praising you in our glorious bodies then…this was and is and will forever be your doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.

Father, by your grace we know that there is nothing compared to the glory that is to be revealed. We surrender our lives, disappointments and ails of this fallen world into and unto your hands. We long for that day when all will be made right. Please keep us blameless and above reproach till the end.

To Him who alone sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and power forever. Amen.
