Lord -
Gathered before You, we dance with all our might.
We set out from our homes to encounter You - a living God enthroned on the cherubim. With songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals, we worship You.
We rejoice, we sacrifice, we dance. We shout, we play trumpets, we leap.
We receive offerings of well-being, blessings, and nourishment.
Fed by You, we return to our homes.
May we dance to this rhythm of gathering, encountering, blessing, returning - a rhythm that anchors us, grounds us, keeps us, and feeds us.
In the name of the One who gathers us, we pray.
Amen.
