Beloved God / we fear your judgement: / teach us to know it as our friend. / Your word has pierced us to the bone; / we are exposed, laid open to your sight. / / Therefore, let us bless you / for you come to us when we are most ashamed, / and when we long to hide our face from you / you will nut suffer us to turn away. / You call us by our name / you touch us , raise us, / invite us into shameless love. / God our lover, know us, judge us, / turn us, wound us, demand of us, / forgive us. / We are yours. / We abandon ourselves to your love. / We trust you.
