Surrender

Well, God,

Here we are.

Here we are before you.

Here we are sitting,         

                    standing,

                    kneeling before you.

Here we are with you.

You, the King of Glory,

clothed in splendour,

wrapped in light,

seated on high.

You, the Servant King,

who removed your cloak,

wrapped a towel around your waist,

and knelt to the ground.

You, the child born King of the Jews,

born in poverty,

wrapped in swaddling cloths,

and laid in a manger.

Here we are.

Here we are with you before us.

Here we are, surrendered,

         with empty hands and open hearts.

Here we are, pregnant with expectation,

         ready to receive from you.

Well, God, here we are.

We are surrendered with you.
