When we come, open
petitions, prayers to God
not understanding
asking why, how
for God’s mercy
Humbly coming
on our knees
because we are of clay
the stuff of the earth
made by God’s loving hands
Not worthy on our own
by our works made right
no, never enough,
coming because of the Christ
who living and died for us
Saved only by grace
by the sacrifice of Christ
the love of God for man
not by our piety, our works
only by the blood of the
lamb
