Call to Worship
"I am the Lord, and there is no other;
besides me there is no god.
I arm you, though you do not know me,"
—Isaiah 45:5 NRSVUE
We hear God's sovereign declaration over all things;
his promise to be with us in every situation.
From the rising of the sun, God will be known,
in both sorrow and joy; in prosperity and adversity.
God lifts up those who are bowed down;
prisoners he sets free; the blind eyes see.
