Call To Worship
LEADER
124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side—
let Israel now say—
PEOPLE
2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!
LEADER
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
