Lord God
King of the Universe
we gather
gather at the cross
to reflect on the gift given to us
in your Son, Christ Jesus
the gift of love which knows no bounds
neither in time nor space
nor in the length and breadth shown
on the cross
here
here is our God
the One who shaped stars and galaxies
the One who determined the length of the day and of the night
the One who breathed life into all living creatures
here is our God
whipped and beaten
falsely accused
sent to his death
here is our God
Christ Jesus
help us to gaze upon you
open our hearts and minds to the enormity of the cross
fill us by the power of the Holy Spirit
to offer our adoration
to bow
in awe and wonder
at the foot of the cross
Amen
