Celebrating the Approaching Victory

Sunday Psalm 6.15.25

Father God 
Lord Jesus
Holy Spirit 

We present ourselves before You again this Sunday.
The old thing is the new thing.
Week by week, we gather to celebrate You
And your work on our behalf.

We refresh our memory of how You drew us.
We rehearse afresh the old, old story.
We give thanks that You are a particular God
Who is telling a particular story that
You have brought us into. 

We celebrate the beauty, truth, and goodness of 
This narrative of creation, fall, redemption, 
And the approaching victory of the 
Marriage supper of the Lamb. 

You’re not a principle or a philosophy.
You are the good Shepherd.
You are the bridegroom coming for the bride.
You are the King, the authority over us all.

Whatever metaphors You verbalize to
Communicate your character, we
Understand You are more than any
Human archetype or prototype. 

You are completely Other, 
Trinitarian, united in your threeness,
Distinct and yet not. 

We will never give up celebrating You.
There’s always more to rejoice in.
And the best will come, at a time we 
May not expect, to enjoy a feast like
No other as we sit down together
In the kingdom fully arrived. 
Amen.
