Sovereign Lord of all, we give you heartfelt thanks. We lift our eyes to the great I AM; in him we find our purpose. He has gathered us in, set us in this holy niche. Here he bonds us together with his everlasting love and his promise of salvation. Almighty King, fulfillment of the prophets, you have conquered death and vanquished evil. Reign in our lives, keeping us ever mindful of how utterly dependent we are on you. Amen.
