Here’s a beautiful prayer for Palm Sunday or Holy Week. Note the allusions to the anointing of Jesus (Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; Luke 7:36-50; John 12:2-11) -- only here we are the ones anointed by God's love.
The prayer was written by Terri, and posted on A Place for Prayer.
Lamb of God
Lamb of God
Hear us when we pray
Wipe our tears
anoint us
with fragrant oil
calm our hearts
Lamb of God
Hear us when we pray
hold the pain
anoint us
love beyond measure
deep mercy
Lamb of God
broken open heart
love pours out
walk with us
journey to the cross
grace for all
darkest of days
holiest of weeks
God with us
amen.
