Here we are, our Abba, Lifting our Hearts to the King of kings. We Bask in Your Love, O God, and Rejoice in Your Sovereign Grace. Your Sacrifice for us is Precious, our Lord; Forever we will Exalt Your Great Name. O You Who Paint the Sunsets, and Call the Stars by Name, be Magnified in our Hearts and in our Lives.
We Bring our Brother-President Before You, Praying for his Safety and his Strength. Be Pleased, Your Excellency, to Empower him as a Soldier of the King. We Plead for Grace as he Lifts You before the Pagans of the Earth. Work through him, our Father, to Lead the Lost to Your Savior-Son.
Our Master, our Souls Ache for Thy Persecuted Servants throughout the Earth. In All their Pain, Please Surround them with Comfort and Spirit-Peace. Draw them to Your Father-Heart, and Strengthen Your Cherished, Precious Lambs.
Thank You for our America, O God, and for our Soldiers who Keep us all Free. We Adore You, our Abba; we Long for You to be Praised. May Thy Kingdom Come Soon, through the Kindness of Jesus Christ.
Thank You for Hearing our Prayers, Shepherd-Lord. In Jesus' Name, for the Glory of the King, amen.
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Refrain
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.
Refrain
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.
Refrain
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
Refrain
For Thy Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love.
Refrain
For the martyrs’ crown of light,
For Thy prophets’ eagle eye,
For Thy bold confessors’ might,
For the lips of infancy.
Refrain
For Thy virgins’ robes of snow,
For Thy maiden mother mild,
For Thyself, with hearts aglow,
Jesu, Victim undefiled.
Refrain
For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven.
Lord of All, to thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise. Amen ...
And may it be, Most Merciful Father, that this day hearts will be turned toward You, the Giver and Sustainer of all that is and was and will be. We seek Your Lordship over our beloved President and his family as they serve the people of this nation. Bring to naught all the evil that is set against our defenders of freedom ... may they return victorious from battle. Quiet the lies and slander, the voices of doom ... let words of Grace and Mercy and Hope be heard throughout the land, for our confidence is in You. Watch over your beloved Israel ... bring peace once again to the City of Jerusalem, that soon, King Jesus, You return in Glory and Splendor. Amen ...
Direct my thought, words and work; wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb, and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit, from the dross of my natural corruption, that I may with more freedom of mind and liberty serve Thee, the ever lasting God, in righteousness and holiness this day, and all the days of my life. Increase my faith in the sweet promises of the Gospel; give me repentance from dead works; pardon my wanderings, and direct my thoughts unto Thyself, the God of my salvation; teach me how to live in Thy fear, labor in Thy service, and ever to run in the ways of Thy commandments . . .
Father, I join with everyone here as we petition, believe and trust in You to complete that work that You have begun in President Bush. Let Your wisdom, righteousness and truth prevail in his life.
We honor You as Sovereign Master, Majestic Glory, Compassion Manifest, King and Creator of all, and worship You in the beauty of the holiness You have given us. We acknowlege that Your judgements are right and seek them in our Government, our military and our own personal lives. All glory to You in Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen.
