A simple prayer for the Lord of Glory

A lone figure hikes
up the side of the mountain,
staff in hand, cloak pulled by the wind
resting on the summit.
All of Israel looks on
as their leader, Moses,
a mere man,
ascends into the swirling
cloud of thunder and fire
crowning the peak
with trumpets and smoke.
The Glory of God is here.

Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lord God Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth!
We bow down before You,
Sovereign King!
Have mercy on us.

Centuries later,
You brought three
of your close companions
up a mountain with You.
As they crested the summit,
You parted the veil
between heaven and earth
for but a moment,
revealing a flash
of your heavenly self,
the Lord of Glory.

Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lamb of God,
our Saviour King!
To Christ be all the power
and honour and glory,
forever and ever!

Truly, we are not worthy 
to have you dwell among us,
but we are so grateful that You do.
We receive You with trembling hearts.
Teach us to not even try to contain You,
harnessing You as a means to an end.
Let us revel in Your unbridled Goodness.
Teach us how to listen to You
as the Father commanded.

Burn away our pride,
our plans,
our sin,
that we might see You as You are.

You alone are God.
