Hallowed Name

Creator Lord,
whose thought
and word
willed into being
form
and colour
and sound –
life!
Hallowed Name!

Redeemer Lord,
who came
in human form
to live
and love,
to give
and take
our worst,
forgive
and cleanse
and make
anew –
Hallowed Name!

Father,
our Father –
born into your family,
not by human bloodline
but by the Blood
once offered
for us
on human cross.
Judge
of right and wrong
taking the judgment
to set us free.
Father,
our Father –
Hallowed Name!
