O King of glory, lift
up the gates of our hearts,
that you may enter in
and we may grow
in grace and
knowledge of you,
our Lord and Savior.
Unless you enter, the
grapes you have planted
in your vineyard will
yield wild grapes;
unless you enter we
will praise evil
and condemn the good.
Lord, save us from
finding fault with those
who exceed us in
righteousness--
also with those who
in
our eyes do not.

Selected Verses
Ps. 24:7
Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be
lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the
King of glory may come in.
Isa. 5:4
What
more was there to do for my vineyard
that I have not done in it?
When I expected it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
that I have not done in it?
When I expected it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
2 Pet. 3:18
But
grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day
of eternity. Amen.
Luke 7:33-34
"…For
John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say,
'He has a demon'; the Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say,
'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' …"
[Jesus to the crowd]
