AT THE FOOT OF YOUR CROSS

End Scroll   My Lord Jesus Christ,

I fall at the foot of your cross

And raise my eyes to fix upon yours,

Begging to draw down the power of your love and forgiveness

Offered to me without deserving.

End Scroll  Please, Lord Jesus, carry my longing

With you to the throne of Almighty God,

Holding my heart in trust

Until the day I find myself with you at last.

End Scroll  May I, Lord Jesus, with your love at the cross

As my witness to the power and mercy of God,

Accept the gift of this one day,

Glorifying you and the Almighty

With each thought and deed.

End Scroll  I beg you, Lord Jesus, to stand between me and

Every evil temptation casting a shadow on my path.

Let your brilliance light my way

So that when evening falls,

I might lay my head upon my pillow

And lay my day at your feet as my best,

In love,

End Scroll  My offering of thanksgiving I give, that you loved me enough

To go to the cross as My LightPrayer Corner Lamp

And My Salvation.

Amen.

Psalm 8

Divine Majesty and Human Dignity

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.

8 [a]O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is thy name in all the earth!

Baby in WombThou whose glory above the heavens is chanted
2     by the mouth of babes and infants,
thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
    the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
4 what is man that thou art mindful of him,Universe
    and the son of man that thou dost care for him?

5 Yet thou hast made him little less than God,
    and dost crown him with glory and honor.
6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands;
    thou hast put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
Whale8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the sea.

9 O Lord, our Lord,                                                  
    how majestic is thy name in all the earth!
