A New Song For a New Year

Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

    Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
    and crowned him with glory and honour.

You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,

all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
 
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Creator God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Break afresh into your created world
and re-order my uncreated thoughts and desires
Re-energise 
Your words,
Your thoughts,
Your desires,
that are within me. 
Bring life to my mind and heart and soul
Come Spirit of God 
Awake within me 
A new song of hope and deliverance for a new year
