Almighty Yahweh,

Jehovah, God

Ruler of the Universe,

Who lives in the Heavens above

Beneath the waters below

Who occupies all space,

Holy is your name, let your Kingdom

Be manifested on earth forever and forever,

To thee we give the Glory and the honour,

As we pledge our obedience to your words.

We ask that you fulfill our needs

So that we can pay you true allegiance,

We ask that you direct our lives

In the path you want us to go

Forgive us of our daily sins and short comings

We promise to forgive others to the

Same degree as we wish you to forgive us.

Please direct us that we enter not into

Temptations knowingly, but if we mistakenly do

We ask that you do not leave us there to suffer

Please bring us out safely to show your love

To show your power, and your glory that others may know

That from everlasting to everlasting you are the supreme God.
