[Spoken Intro:]
Almighty God, this great congregation
Of your people awaits your presence.
We know that when you come,
You'll bring everything we need.
So manifest your glory in this place.
Touch us, oh God, bless this house.
[Chorus:]
Bless this house, bless this house.
Keep us strong and healthy;
Keep us safe and prosperous.
Cover this entire congregation,
From our children to our spouse.
Come down from heaven, Lord...
With your almighty power, Lord...
Shower us with your favor, Lord...
And bless, bless, bless, oh bless,
Lord, bless, please bless this house.
[Worship leader:]
Believers, wherever you are:
If this is your prayer, sing this chorus with me.
