Prayer: Cross So Costly, Cross Victorious

Lord Jesus

The way of the cross is so costly

we can barely face it

Shame, sorrow, suffering

Your life poured out

You the Passover lamb sacrificed.

Lord, we shudder at this way you have chosen

And yet we acknowledge our great need

We are so broken, so frail, so surrounded by sin

That we cannot stand

We cannot save ourselves

We are in desperate need

We need a savior

We need you

And in our time of greatest need

Your love came to us

Your love gave yourself

Your love emptied itself

Losing everything

And in this overwhelming defeat 

You claimed victory

You were victorious

You accomplished salvation

And so we honor you

And so we give ourselves to you

And so we find our life in you

Lord Jesus Christ, savior of the world

We come to worship you

Amen and amen

Lorenzo Monaco -Crucifixion
