John 18:33-19:16

Our Father,

We have crucified the king;

But we do not feel the weight of our offence.

We have not recognised his majesty.

We have not expected his return.

Father have mercy on us.

Christ have mercy on us.

Spirit have mercy on us.

We declare that Jesus is our king.

May he be truth to us.

Take our thoughts captive under your rule.

May our speech be seasoned by his authority.

May our hearts be submissive to him alone.

Amen.
