The People’s Prayer

“Blessed be your wonderful name.
    It is more wonderful than all blessing and praise.
You are the only Lord.
    You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
    with all the stars.
You made the earth and everything on it,
    the seas and everything in them;
    you give life to everything.
The heavenly army worships you.

“You are the Lord,
    the God who chose Abram
and brought him out of Ur in Babylonia
    and named him Abraham.
