Remembering Your Works--Sept. 8, 2019

[From Sept. 4, 2011 archive]

Lord Jesus, you are in the Father, and the Father is in you.

Help us remember who brought us out of Egypt,

help us remember all your good works.

Remembering, we will bless your holy name;

with all that is within us, we will bless it.

Then fill us with your Holy Spirit,

and shake the place where

we gather to pray.
