when i forget You are holy, that Jesus the Holy One died, remind me

when i forget Jesus’ blood alone can make me clean, remind me

when i forget Jesus was broken for me, a sinner, remind me

when i believe i know what it means to suffer, humble me

when i live as though the cross i bear is outside Your understanding, humble me

when i give and complain as though i invented surrender, humble me 

forgive me, for the ways i act like Peter and forsake you in my day

forgive me, for the ways i act like Judas and trade you for riches

forgive me, for the ways i act like Pilate and wash my hands of You

forgive me, for the ways i act like Herod and make a mockery of Jesus

forgive me, for the ways i act like the High Priest and reject You

forgive me, for the ways i act outside Your will, as if believing I own my life 

thank you for Your work that cleanses me

thank you for Your work that humbles me

thank you for Your work that restores relationship

thank you for Your work that grants mercy

thank you for Your work that frees me

thank you for Your work that brings new life

John 15:13 - ‘greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends’
