God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We join the angels and beings in heaven and proclaim Jesus Lord for who he is and what he has done to save us and what he means to us. We await his coming in glory with great anticipation!

In your marvelous name, I bring this praise to God. Amen.
