Our Father,
O give us a king who will judge with righteousness and justice.
May he defend the poor and the needy.
May he crush the oppressor.
May he redeem his people.
May he be a blessing like soft rain.
May he enable the righteous to flourish.
May make peace to abound.
May he rule over all the world.
May his name endure forever and his fame be eternal.
And may blessing abound to all peoples through him.
Our Father,
You have given us a king that did not elevate himself but has instead come down.
He did not grasp at equality with you.
He made himself nothing.
He took on the form of a slave.
He submitted himself to death.
Even death on a cross.
He is our king.
We worship him!
Amen
