Hymn: Praise My Soul the King of Heaven
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
who like me His praise should sing?
Alleluia, alleluia,
Praise the everlasting King.
Praise Him for his grace and favour
to our fathers, in distress;
praise Him still the same for ever,
slow to child, and swift to bless.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Glorious in his faithfulness.
Father-like, he tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame He knows;
in His hands He gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Widely as His mercy flows.
Angels help us to adore Him;
ye behold Him face to face;
sun and moon bow down before Him;
dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Praise with us the God of grace.

Bible Reading - Matthew 7: 7-12.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
I wonder whether there are things you would like to say thank you to father God for?
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
now and for ever. Amen.

Song: Father God I Wonder How I Managed to Exist
Father God I wonder how I managed to exist
without the knowledge of your parenthood
and your loving care.
But now I am Your child I am adopted in
Your family, and I can never be alone -
‘cause, Father God, You’re there beside me.
I will sing Your praises, I will sing Your praises,
I will sing Your praises, for evermore.
I will sing Your praises, I will sing Your praises,
I will sing Your praises, for evermore.
