Oh Lord, you are the great and awesome God
Oh Lord, you are the righteous and Holy One
Yet we have sinned, turned away from your ways
Yes we have sinned, walked away from your ways
We have not listened to your servants
We have not listened
Now oh Lord, hear our prayer, hear our cry
Oh Lord, open out eyes and see our desolation
We do not pray because we are righteous, Oh Lord
But because of your great mercy, we pray
Oh Lord, listen (listen)
Oh Lord, forgive (forgive)
Oh Lord, hear and act
For your sake, do not delay
Oh Lord, hear our cry
For we bear your name
–Vineyard Music, Brian Doerksen, “Daniel’s Prayer”–

What can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
–Romans 1:19-20 (ESV)–
The Spirit himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are children of God.
–Romans 8:16 (ESV)–
The Lord himself will give you a sign.
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
–Isaiah 7:14 (ESV)–
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
from ancient days.
–Micah 5:2 (ESV)–
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
–Isaiah 53:3-7 (ESV)–
I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver. 13 Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord, to the potter.
–Zechariah 11:12-13 (ESV)–
Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell;
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
–Psalm 16:10 (KJV)–
