Have you made a joyful noise lately?
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing! Psalm 100:1
Joy-Giving Lord,
You know that I’m not a very good singer,
but I sure do like to “make a joyful noise,”
and I pray that would be true
for all who join me in praise of your goodness
this morning.
We make a joyful noise,
serve you with gladness,
and come into your presence with singing
because you are God,
because you made us,
because we belong to you,
because we are your people,
and because we are your sheep (Psalm 100:3).
.
We enter your gates with thanksgiving,
your courts with praise,
we bless your name,
because you are good,
your day-by-day
moment-by-moment
love
endures for-ever,
your covenantal commitment to us
lasts until Jesus returns (Psalm 100:5).
In Jesus’ joy-full name. Amen.
Read Psalm 100.
