Passage:
17 May his name endure forever,
his fame continue as long as the sun!
May people be blessed in him,
all nations call him blessed!
(Psalm 72:17 ESV)
Song:
Psalm 72 (Long Live The King) by Kip Fox and Paul Elliot
Lyrics:
There is a King who rides on the heavens
His coming lifts the eyes of the poor
For all the power of their oppressor
Can hurt them no more
He is a King like no one before Him
His justice falls like rain on the hills
And all who live their lives with that hunger
Will have their fill
Long live the King
Forever He shall reign
Let the heavens ring with His praise
Long live the King
The sun and moon will fade
His kingdom never passing away
Long live the King
Interlude
Long live the King
There is a righteous fire in his footsteps
An everlasting peace in His wake
He is the King from ocean to ocean
And age to age
Age to age
Humbled low in a manger
Lifted high on a tree
Rose victorious Savior
Jesus Christ our King
Long live the King
Forever He shall reign
Let the heavens ring with His praise
Long live the King
The sun and moon will fade
His kingdom never passing away
Long live the King
Forever He shall reign
Let the heavens ring with His praise
Long live the King
The sun and moon will fade
His kingdom never passing away
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
-The Book of Common Prayer
