Give Us Clean Hands--Chris Tomlin
Call to Worship:
We come, praying for clean hearts and hands that we may worship God.
Our God has promised that all faithful people will receive God’s blessings.
We come, praying that through God’s grace we may stand before God.
Grace-giving God, through you alone we are able to come to worship you.
We come today, praying that we may receive blessings from our God.
Trustworthy God, you have always fulfilled your promises, and we
joyfully celebrate and give thanks for the mercies of our Gracious God. Amen.

Jesus sculpture finds a home: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/good-news/ontario-man-jesus-sculpture-gets-big-fan-pope-175159441.html
Sculpture of Jesus as a homeless man sleeping on a bench was rejected from a number of sites, but has finally found a home. Could provide for an interesting point about how Jesus would have clearly walked the path that lead to the hill of God. But, when our priorities are not righteousness, the hill of God cannot be found.
