Call To Worship based on Psalm 30

God, you were there with me in the midst of my trouble. I was down and out and it felt like the weight of my grief and pain were more than I could ever bare.

But when I cried for help, it was your grace that held me up and steadied my feet to rescue me. Even though I wept because it was like dark night in my soul, your joy came like the sunrise in the morning.

Now, my mournful silence has been replaced by singing. I can't keep silent because my sorrow has been turned into joy. Once again, you were faithful, trustworthy and gracious God.

I am forever grateful.
