Eternal Father, Lover, Friend

Eternal love who caused us to be

Your name is holy, your kingdom, free. 

Transform creation to suit your will.

See our needs daily, and them fulfill.

—–

What needs forgiving, please set aside.

Forgiving others: you are our guide. 

Test us not harshly, lest we would fail.

Free us from evil and its dark jail.

—–

Kingdom and power, glory are yours.

Yesterday, now and forevermore. 

Before creation, you’ve always been

Eternal father, lover and friend.
