This prayer was written as a call to worship for Youthwork the Conference '08, but could be used in many other settings. It tries to acknowledge that in God's eyes we are not just the miserable sinners that some people like us to think we are - he made us perfect, and in Christ we are made perfect once more. It also aims to be trinitarian. Encourage people to say it all together, with enthusiasm.

Father,
We are yours.
We cannot be bought; you paid the great price.
We bow down as servants; you lift us up friends.

Jesus,
We are good.
Made in your image, channelling your style.
We bow down as sinners, you lift us up saints.

Spirit,
We are called.
You've got our number, you speak our names
We bow down as failures, you lift us up
to God
as his precious children.
