From Everyday Liturgy:
God Almighty, we look to you as the coming king,
knowing that your kingdom is not gained through the powers of this world,
but is a kingdom not of this world.
We lay down our clothes and praise your name,
asking that your kingdom come
and your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
knowing that your kingdom is not gained through the powers of this world,
but is a kingdom not of this world.
We lay down our clothes and praise your name,
asking that your kingdom come
and your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
[the line "We lay down our clothes and praise your name" reminded me of this.]
Sojourn Church re-worked one of their songs from Advent for the narrative of Jesus' triumphal entry. I think the word "Hosanna!" is a prayer I need to know and use often these days.
God, save us now!
