Because you came and sat beside us, because you came and heard us speak, and we ignored you and we refused you, we ask forgiveness, Lord Jesus Christ. Because you laughed and loved the child-like, because you lived from day to day, and we love status and steady money, we ask forgiveness, Lord Jesus Christ. Because our peace was your agenda, because you wept to see us war, and we love power, and winning battles, we ask forgiveness, Lord Jesus Christ. Because your Cross compels an answer, because your love absorbs our sin, and we are wounded because we wound you, we ask forgiveness, Lord Jesus Christ. Because you came on Easter morning, because you come at Pentecost, and in the Spirit, we are forgiven, we live to praise you, Lord Jesus Christ!
