Creationtide - Day 6. Come Praise the Lord, the Potentate of Time

Throughout Creationtide, 1st September - 4th October, there will be a daily posting of material to help us reflect on the various themes associated with this period in the Church’s year.

The posts will incorporate the following themes:

  • Glory of the Cosmos, 
  • Bible 
  • Earth’s Wonders 
  • Care of the Planet 
  • Meditation/ Prayer 
  • Praise & Adoration
  • Jesus, the heart of it all

I hope you will find these notes, prayers, hymns and meditations helpful and that you will feel you want to call in on the site each day. You will be very welcome and as many of the items reflect the biggest challenge of our times (notwithstanding Covid 19), I hope you might encourage other like-minded people to join us on this 34 day pilgrimage.

Come Praise the Lord, The Potentate of time,

 

Come Praise the Lord,

The Potentate of time,

The God of mighty space

Where suns align

Their planets wondrously

In orbits near and far

To feel the radiant heat

Of their host star.

 

 

Come, praise the Lord

who came to earth for me:

To this amazing world

To set us free

From death, the natural end

Of all in time and space:

Lifting our souls beyond

Into his grace
