CALL TO WORSHIP Daniel 2.20-23 Scott Millett
One Praise be to the name of God our Father forever and ever;
Many WISDOM AND POWER ARE HIS.
One He changes the times and the seasons;
Many HE SETS UP RULERS, AND HE DEPOSES THEM.
One He gives wisdom to the wise,
Many AND HE GIVES KNOWLEDGE TO THE DISCERNING.
One He reveals deep and hidden things;
Many HE KNOWS WHAT LIES IN DARKNESS, AND LIGHT DWELLS
WITH HIM.
One I thank You and praise You, O God of our fathers:
Many YOU HAVE
GIVEN
One You have made known to us what we asked of You,
Many YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO US THE DREAM OF THE KING.
AMEN.
