Heavenly Father,
We come to you who made the morning stars sing together with the angels at the Creation. We come to you, who composed songs through your people for Old Testament worship, and who ordained praise from all you have given breath--He who sent the angels with a song to announce the birth of your Son, and who remembers the Disciples singing a hymn on the night of your Son’s arrest.
We thank you that you have given us the gift of singing, and allow us to lift up praise to your glory and for the edification of your people. Thank you for the beauty we enjoy, the truth we can share, and the work you do in our lives through the music we present.
Like the ancient Levites, purify us for this year ahead, that we may offer our gifts of music in righteousness. Anoint us for service, bless us with your joy, and transform us by this holy ministry we pray. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
