Father God 
Lord Jesus 
Holy Spirit 

We present ourselves before You again this Sunday.
We gather to be reminded, once again, of
Who You are and who we are.

We’ve walked through hard weeks,
We’ve enjoyed good weeks,
We’ve muddled through mediocre weeks.

However our days have played out,
We always need to know who we are.
By your design, we are body, soul, and spirit.
By your hand, we are male or female.

Made in your image, all of us,
Made to live in and with You.
By your word, You created all and You have
Made us to be creators after You.

You are the ultimate authority and 
The final arbiter who will render a verdict.
Which makes it all the more incredible 
That You clothed your word with flesh
And lived a human life and died a human death
And in your rising, rescued us.
Why would the judge become the defendant?

But You made Him who knew no sin to be sin
For us so that, in Him, we are made righteous. 

We will never give up marveling at
Your willingness to suffer for us.
There’s always more to contemplate.
And, possessing your righteousness, 
We will enter your gates rejoicing
To see You as You are. 
Amen.
