NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 3/26

In this holy week, Lord, 

we remember how - for our sakes -

    you were betrayed, falsely accused, arrested, judged, 

    sentenced, scourged, spat upon, mocked, 

    crowned with thorns, stripped of your garments, 

    humiliated, burdened by the Cross, crucified, 

    pierced by a lance and buried in a borrowed grave...

 

All of this, Lord,

for our sakes,

for the forgiveness of our sins:

    you offered your life,

        your mercy and your love

    that we might have life

        and have it to the full...

You did none of this to condemn us, Lord,

    but only that we might be saved...

In this holy week, help us remember

    that God so loved the world

    that he gave us you, his only Son

    that whoever believes in you

        might not perish 

    but have eternal life...

God so loved the world...

Be with us, Lord, as we lie awake,

    and watch over us while we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

God so loved the world,
God so loved the world,
That he gave his only begotten son,
That whoso believeth,
Believeth in him should not perish,
Should not perish
But have everlasting life.

 
For God sent not his Son
Into the world to condemn the world,
God sent not his Son
Into the world to condemn the world,
But that the world through him might be saved.

 
God so loved the world,
God so loved the world,
That he gave his only begotten son,
That whoso believeth,
Believeth in him should not perish,
Should not perish
But have everlasting life.
