Psalm 36: Far Reaching Love

(suitable for all-age worship)


Your love, O God, reaches up, up beyond the sky,
Your goodness goes higher than the clouds,
Your power is bigger than the tallest mountains,
Your truth goes deeper than the ocean.
 
O God, we treasure your infinite love.
All people can hide in the shadow of your wings.
O God, we celebrate your mighty river of joy.
All people can feast together in your house.
O God, you are the fountain of life.
All people can find light in your light.
 
So why do people turn away from you?
Some people choose to be bullies,
they don’t care about anyone except themselves.
They think they can get away with anything.
They don’t give a stuff about what others.
We turn away from what is wrong,
   We choose you, O God.
Protect us from anything which tries to harm us.
You have the victory over evil,
   it is crushed under your feet.
 
Your love, O God, reaches up, up beyond the sky,
Your goodness goes higher than the clouds,
Your power is bigger than the tallest mountains,
Your truth goes deeper than the ocean.
Hold us in your amazing love, now and forever.
With loving hearts we will live in you. Amen.
