Magnus es, Domine, et laudabilis valde

So begins the Confessions of St. Augustine.  According to Jean Luc Marion, the archetypical creaturely action is praise, praise of our creator.  Man, a being who is "tilted" toward God, doesn't regain stature until he rests (leans) against God. Let us praise Him.

O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end:

We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.

(Instrumental)

Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we’ll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:

We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
