Why we Worship

PSALM 47

Clap your hands, all peoples!
  Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared,
  a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
  and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
  the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

God has gone up with a shout,
  the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises!
  Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
  sing praises with a psalm!

Why Sing?

God reigns over the nations;
  God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
  as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
  he is highly exalted!


Why Scripture?



 


Psalm 119 is a prayer, yes, but it is also a work of art. Occasionally, God anoints his servants to take us higher. Such is the following prayer of that great saint, Francis of Assissi.

From The Mouth of St. Francis Of Assissi

September 26, 2008



Let all of us,
    Wherever we are,
    In every place,
    At every hour,
    At every time of day,
    Every day and continually
Believe truly and humbly,
And keep in our heart,
And love, honor, adore, serve, praise and bless,
Glorify and exalt, magnify and give thanks to
The Most High and Supreme and Eternal God,
    Trinity and unity,
The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
    Creator of all,
Savior of all who believe in him,
    And hope in him,
    And love him;
Who is without beginning and without end,
    Unchangeable and invisible,
Incomprehensible, unfathomable,
Blessed, worthy of praise,
Glorious, exalted on high, sublime
Most high, gentle, lovable,
Delectable and totally desirable
above all else forever. AMEN.
        AN ECSTATIC HYMN FROM THE EARLIER RULE by St. Francis of Assissi
