Lord God Almighty
We come
We come as we follow Jesus Christ to the cross
we come to offer all we can to the one who gives us life
life which is in us
as we breathe on the breath of life
life that is around us
as we see buds burst forth from the ground
blossoms giving colour
birds nesting in the trees
Life is wonderful
amazing
given so freely
by the one who is our all in all
our creator, redeemer, sustainer
whom we worship and adore
in this time together
a time to pause and be
a time to know that you are God alone
a time to take in a glimpse of all that has been done for us
in this most Holy of Weeks
in this week where we will struggle to watch
in this week where we will turn away
in this week where we will deny
in this week where we will betray
in words, in actions, in what we fail to do
the one who gives us all
Lord God
do not set your curse on us
allow us to bear fruit, good fruit this week
fruit which lasts
through us pouring at Christ Jesus’ feet all we have
for through his sacrifice, which we will look upon, we are forgiven, loved, given life
Amen
