Songs of Praise
Mr Edward Heng
TIME OF SIMULTANEOUS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Shout for joy to the LORD…give thanks to Him and praise His name.
(Psalm 100:1, 4)
Usually the congregation is given a specific time period, with a common theme of petition or
supplication. Then all pray aloud at the same time in the power of the Spirit.
(United Methodist Book of Worship 1992, pg 446)
PRAYER
SILENT & INTERCESSORY PRAYER
But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.
TIME FOR WATCHING THE LORD
I will stand at my watch; I will look to see what he will say to me.
(Habakkuk 2:20)
(Habakkuk 2:1)
What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word
of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the
strengthening of the church.
(1 Corinthians 14:26)
