Father, we welcome you.
We greet you as though you are king.
We lay our palm branches before you
in hopes that you will save us.
Save us from our circumstances.
Make our lives here on Earth easier.
We have things we need you to do.
Father, we confess that we do not understand.
Where is your white horse?
What are you waiting for?
Father, we have been inconvenienced for too long.
Father, it is time.
We have things we need you to do.
Father, we confess that we are confused.
If you have come to save us,
and you have come in peace,
why are you so angry?
You turn over our tables and call us thieves?
What are you doing?
This is not what we need you to do.
Father, we confess that we stand with the crowd.
We hope that you can’t hear our voice as we yell.
Father we are embarrassed that we turn so quickly.
We don’t understand.
We are confused.
This is not what we thought would happen.
We had things we needed you to do.
Father, forgive us.
We have our own agenda.
We welcome you for selfish gain.
Change our hearts, Father.
Save us now.
Bring us peace
by killing the hostility that divides us from you.
Part the waters.
Tear the curtain.
All we need you to do
is rescue us.
