O God of Creation, who
Drapes morning mist across the hillsides,
Paints the dawn with ever-changing hues, and
Scatters sparkling crystals of dew on grass and flower,
I worship you with incredulous wonder.
O God of Salvation, who
Gave your precious Son, the King of kings,
To die a cruel, criminal’s death for my sin, and
Provide the way of eternal life,
I worship you with overflowing gratitude.
O God of Restoration, who
Now considers me righteous,
Making possible an intimate relationship with you, and
Granting perfect peace and effervescent joy,
I worship you with a humbled spirit.
O God of Affection, who
Mercifully withholds the punishment I deserve,
Graciously bestows blessings I have not earned, and
Carries me close to your heart,
I worship you with overwhelming love.
O God of Revelation, who
Gave us your timeless, trustworthy Word, that
Offers infallible wisdom, inspired instruction, and
Encouraging promises to lead us and lift us,
I want to worship you with my obedience.
O God of Transformation, who
Actively pursues my best interest,
To mold me into the image of Jesus
With ever-increasing splendor,
I want to worship you with my submission.
O God of Distinction,
There is no one like you.
Your greatness is beyond human comprehension.
I stand in awe of your splendor and majesty, and
I worship you with all that is within me.

Absolutely beautiful, Nancy! I’m sitting here enjoying my morning coffee, and this is the perfect addition to focus my morning prayers. Thank you, and may you have a super blessed day!
Praise God for allowing me to join you in morning prayer — over coffee! (I’m drinking French Roast today. How about you?) Thank you for your blessing on my day, and may your day also be filled with delight!
Boyd’s Streamliner for me today. They are a Portland company with very good coffee. Oregon has some amazing coffee roasters. Lucky me!
Cincinnati is not known for its coffee, but we have found (since moving here last June) a particular flavor that’s especially satisfying: Highlander Grogg. I wonder if they have Boyd’s Streamliner in Seattle. I’ll have to look for it the next time we visit out there!
A wonderful moment of worship – with words and pictures. Thank you, Nancy
Praise God he used this post to bring you a wonderful moment of worship. I am humbled and honored!
What a wonderful way to honor the best Father of them all this Father’s Day Weekend. Thanks, Nancy, for the way you presented His wonderful attributes that He daily passes onto His children!
Thank you, Cheri, but I have to admit Father’s Day was not on my mind when I wrote this post! However, we can always count on our Heavenly Father’s timing, right? So glad you were blessed by the attribute-focus.
