Call to Worship: Isaiah 40, Psalm 147

Here’s a responsive call to worship based on Isaiah 40 and Psalm 147, two of the suggested scripture readings for February 5, 2012 (the fifth Sunday after Epiphany).  They were written by Mary J. Scifres.

Call to Worship
(based on Psalm 147, Isaiah 40)

Gather us in, the brokenhearted and the joyful.
Gather us in, the weak and the strong.
Gather us in, the fearful and the brave.
Gather us in, the young and the old.
Gather us in, to sing of God’s works.
Gather us in, to praise Jesus Christ.
Gather us in, to worship and wonder.
Gather us in, to know of God’s love.
