ONE or ALL: Psalm 25:1-7 NRSV
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust;
Do not let me be put to shame;
Do not let my enemies exult over me.
Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord
Teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
For you are the God of my salvation
For you I wait all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord,
and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!

ONE or ALL: King of Glory, Lift Up Our Face
King of Glory, lift up our face
You, our Provider and Parent
You, the Maker of All Things New

King of Glory, lift up our face
Bowed low beneath the weight of fear
and worry
and falsehood
So much is out of our control
So much we have brought upon ourselves

King of Glory
Lift up our face
How can we seek your face with our eyes on the dust?

King of Glory
Lift up our face
How can you save us if we keep trying to save ourselves?

King of Glory
Lift up our face
Enter in with Your blessing
Your healing
Your strength
Your salvation
Your glory
