Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable... We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and Set us free. Amen!'
"Bright Morning Star"
He is our Bright Morning Star
Our Father and our King
He is our Great Saviour
In Him, we have everything
The gentleness He shows to us
So deep, we can't comprehend
Merciful and long suffering
His blessings, with love He sends
He leads us to the Father
Telling Him, we're His own
In Him we have an Advocate
Our Counselor, at God's throne
He makes our way clearer
Through morning, eve and night
Our wonderful "Bright Morning Star"
Filled will goodness and with light
