How Great You Are--Dec. 9, 2019

Lord God of the living,

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

God who is, and who was, and who is to come,

Alpha and Omega, the Almighty,

how great you are!

You stand, with plumb line

in hand, beside our lives,

waiting for us to seek you;

when we seek, we will find you,

be glad in you, and love your salvation.
