Easter 3 | Psalm 100 (with Nick Locke)

Opening Song:
Psalm 100 (Enter In) by Charity Gayle, Joshua Sherman, Laurel Taylor, and Steven Musso

Lyrics:
Shout joyfully to the Lord all the earth
Come worshiping before the throne of God

For the Lord He is good
And His Love endures (forever)

So we enter in into His gates
Bringing words of praise
And off'rings of thanksgiving
So we enter in to bless His name
Lifting holy hands in honor of our King

So heavenly to walk into Your courts
Jesus is the One that we adore
Your majesty we bow before You Lord

Omnipotent amazing
Our God will reign forever
Magnificent breathtaking
(Our God will reign forever)

Passage:
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

3 Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;[a]
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

Reflection Notes:
This harp reflection features rich, full chords with a strong melody. The tension between major and minor chords reflects the challenges and triumphs of life.

Prayer:
Almighty God, the fountain of wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask, and our ignorance in asking—we ask you to have compassion upon our weaknesses; and those things, which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, grant to give us for the worthiness of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 
-Book of Common Prayer (1552)
