Lord –
Your voice is over the waters, thundering its powerful glory and majesty. Your voice shakes our wildernesses, breaking cedars and flashing forth flames of fire.
Whirling oaks and stripped forests. Mighty waters and holy splendor.
All in Your temple say, “Glory!”
May Your strength be our strength, and may You bless us with peace.
In the name of the One who sits enthroned over the flood forever, we pray.
Amen.
(The Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on Sunday, January 8.)
