King of Kings and Lord of Lords, it is you we come to celebrate today! It is you whom we sing hallelujah! In the midst of our own joys and struggles that we find ourselves in, we choose to praise you as the Savior of our Souls. We acknowledge you as the one whom we’ve been waiting for, and we desire to serve you. Help us to get out of our own skin today, and to see you in all of your glory and goodness. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
