Theme: Praise Wells Up in our Hearts and Blessings Spill Over into the World

Scripture: Psalm 118:26-29

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.


From the house of the Lord we bless you.

The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us.


With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
 his love endures forever. (NIV)

Blessed are you who enter in God's name—

from God's house we bless you!

God is God,

he has bathed us in light.

Festoon the shrine with garlands,

hang colored banners above the altar!

You're my God, and I thank you.

O my God, I lift high your praise.

Thank God—he's so good.

His love never quits! (The Message)
