PRAISE Call to Worship from Canticle of Christ’s Obedience (UMH 167) [PLEASE STAND]

Leader Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

People but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in our likeness.

Leader And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.

People Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

Leader that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

ALL and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
