Hebrews 2
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

1. Before the song begins, make remarks about who Jesus Christ is in the heavenly realm and who Jesus is in the earthly realm. Emphasize that the readings for today describe aspects of the glory, power, and majesty that He left behind in heaven, to come down to earth to preach, to teach, and to serve. He worked here in his ministry, instructed the disciples, healed the sick, raised the dead, and went out in the world to bring more disciples into The Way. He died for our salvation, was buried, and rose from the dead with all power in His hands. He sits at the right hand of God and serves as our mediator, pleading for us. We should give Christ Jesus the glory, the honor and the praise for his mighty acts.

Here is a prayer to start your day from
Rev. Dr. Byron T. Brazier
of the Apostolic Church of God, Chicago.
Prayer is offered Monday through Friday.
A great way to start your day!
Worship, honor, glory, blessing,
Lord, we offer unto Thee.
Young and old, Thy praise expressing,
In glad homage bend the knee.
All the saints in Heaven adore Thee;
We would bow before Thy throne.
As Thine angels serve before Thee,
So on earth Thy will be done.
Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens, Adore Him
Praise the Lord! ye heavens adore him;
praise him angels in the height;
sun and moon, rejoice before him;
praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise the Lord! for he hath spoken;
worlds his mighty voice obeyed;
laws which never shall be broken
for their guidance he hath made.
Praise the Lord! for he is glorious;
never shall his promise fail;
God hath made his saints victorious;
sin and death shall not prevail.
Praise the God of our salvation!
Hosts on high, his power proclaim;
heaven and earth, and all creation,
laud and magnify his Name.
- A Mighty Fortress is Our God #153:03
All Hail the Power (Diadem)
All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
let angels prostrate fall,
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him, crown Him,
crown Him, crown Him,
and crown Him, crown Him
crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.
Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
ye ransomed from the Fall,
ye ransomed from the Fall,
hail Him who saves you by his grace,
and crown Him, crown Him,
crown Him, crown Him,
and crown Him, crown Him
crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.
A Mighty Fortress is Our God
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth, his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.

And though this world,
with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
Jesus is All the World to Me
Jesus is all the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
he is my strength from day to day,
without him I would fall.
When I am sad, to him I go,
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad, he makes me glad...
He's my friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
my friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
he gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
he sends the harvest's golden grain;
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.

and thus surround the throne,

a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
