Worshipers, Worshiping, Worship - a Must Unto God
Father, Lord, Precious Holy Spirit With fervor, honor, zeal, love, and a persuaded expectancy, we bring our melodious sound rich and engorged with praise- worship and thanksgiving- to the One we trust has planned our lives in good, prosperous and perfect efficacy. As oracles of God we make a joyful, motivating, piercing sound that unifies the body of Christ, unto singularity of heart, inviting the Presence of God into our midst, and ever watchful of His leading.
