Arising from Reformed denominations for use across evangelical and ecumenical contexts
- for some, an ideal worship assembly book
- for many, a rich devotional resource
- for all, an indispensable reference tool
Our desire is also that this collection be deep enough to give voice to our praises and laments, be both sung prayer and proclamation, and play a significant role in the faith formation of Christians old and young alike.
Lift Up Your Hearts outlines the whole redemption history arc in two ways. The first section follows the biblical narrative from creation to new creation, including Christ’s life and the Christian year. The second section follows the order of worship, from God calling us to worship through God blessing and sending us out.
