  shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us
  come before him with thanksgiving and extol him
  with music and song.
• For the Lord is the great God, the great King
  above all gods. In his hand are the depths of
  the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.
  The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands
  formed the dry land (Psalm 951-5).

Reverence

• Yet a time is coming and has now come when the
  true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit
  and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers
  the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his
  worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth
  (John 423-24).

• Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If
