Eternal paradox of possibility,
God of justice and mercy,
We come to worship you.
Invisible yet Incarnate,
Three yet One,
We come to seek your face.
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
God of time and eternity,
We come to praise your name.
With honesty and humility,
With reverence and repentance,
We come to pray to you –
Offering our prayers of confession . . . (transition to congregational prayers of confession)
