So Will I: A Creation Liturgy
This prayer was formed around the lyrics of the song So Will I by the band Hillsong United. For the most effective implementation in worship, use in conjunction with this song after the liturgy. So Will I, Benjamin Hastings | Joel Houston | Michael Fatkin © 2017 Hillsong Music Publishing.
God of creation, we look out into your world and we see the beauty of your handiwork. On this painted canvas of grace, you designed every part in infinite detail. Let us continually praise your name and show our gratitude for you, for this gift of creation. We thank you even for all the gifts you give us, even during trails and tribulations. We know even through the storms, it can pull us closer to you. There is always something to be grateful for. Just as your creation does, We also praise you in this moment.
I will say a statement and if you would respond with me in saying…So will I.
So if the stars we made to worship,
So will I.
If the mountains bow in reverence,
So will I.
If the oceans roar in greatness,
So will I.
So if everything exists to life you high,
So will I.
If the wind goes where you send it,
So will I.
If the rocks cry out in silence,
So will I.
We will never stop singing your praises, O majestic One, and giving you thanks for this life you gave us and the life you gave on the cross. Help us to continue saying So Will I, with every step we take into your world. Amen.
