We praise you, Holy
God, for you commanded,
and sun, moon, and shining
stars were created.
Into a world of shouting
and confusion, where
most of us don't know
why we come together,
you have sent Jesus,
who spoke with authority.
When we admire the
powers of earthly rulers,
remind us, all true
authority comes from you.
