We praise your name, Lord God, the Most High. You are the Source of all, you are the Sustainer of all, you are the Ruler and Ender of all. You are the final Authority, you are the Paragon of Perfection, you are the Righteous Ruler, the Holy Healer, the Powerful Protector.

There is no one like you. “For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him” (Ps. 89:6,7).

You, O God, are the greatest in power, wisdom and goodness. You are able to create stars by the billions, to hang the earth on nothing, to begin and end history, to defeat any enemy, to protect, guide and lead us in every circumstance. You are worthy of praise and exaltation all day long!
