Responsive reading for worship concerning the hurricane

Here's a quick responsive reading for whomever would like to use it....

Responsive Reading for the Victims of Katrina

Lord, You are great

and worthy to be praised.

Like Job we cry out in disbelief,

The Lord gave

And the Lord takes away.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

As we pass through the waters,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

As we stand on dry land,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Even when the winds destroy us,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

In moments where Your grace shines through,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

When You call us to give sacrificially,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

When there is no one else but You,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

When the lost find refuge,

When the floodgates pour out terror and grief,

When a cup of cold water is given,

When the child looks for home,

When the broken find their way,

When the streams consume the shoreline,

When we search for the survivors,

Blessed,

Blessed,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Matt - Thank you for this reading. We used it in our morning worship today. You are truly blessed ... and I count it an honor to call you my friend.
