Sacredise - Prayer: How You Have Loved

How You Have Loved

by John van de Laar

How deeply you have loved us, Jesus;
   how willingly you stepped into our experience,
       how completely you empathised with all that we endure.
Teach us to love as you have loved us.

How sacrificially you have loved us, Jesus;
   how completely you gave yourself for us,
       how courageously you suffered for our sakes.
Teach us to love as you have loved us.

How restoratively you have loved us, Jesus;
   how generously you share your life,
       how extravagantly you make yourself available to us.
Teach us to love as you have loved us.

We praise you for your love
    which is given so freely and so unconditionally.
And we thank you for believing
   that we could learn to offer such love
       to each other.
Amen.
