The prayer
Written prayerOh, Lord, you are beautiful in my sight. Your eyes of love reduce me to tears and the warmth of your compassion embraces me. It grieves my heart that the world only saw you in the weakness of our humanity and only saw your outward appearance. You were just an ordinary man to them with no external attractiveness. They scoffed at your humility and saw no virtue in your gentleness, and your obedience unto death was weakness. They could not comprehend the magnitude of your sacrifice. When you were raised up on that cross you took my sins with you. I hung on that cross with you. I deserved the price you paid for my freedom. You loved me so much you were willing to die in my place to redeem me for all eternity. I have never known that kind of love nor will I ever in this life. It is you and you alone who loves unconditionally and will never leave me or forsake me. You have bound yourself to me throughout all eternity and are not ashamed to call me your own. I am not ashamed to declare your Lordship over my life. I love you Lord, and I belong to you. You are my father, King, savior, and my heart's delight. I bless your holy name and am humbled before you in deep gratitude for what you have done for me. In Jesus name, amen.
