Lord,
when I'm in a
church
that is in
more awe
of the preacher
than You,
I believe
I hear them
pray:
“...hollowed be thy Name”

The Beauty of His Holiness
You are
holy.
Compassionate before a person sins,
Compassionate after a person has sinned,
and
mighty in compassion
to give all creatures according to their need.
Merciful, that humankind may not be distressed;
Gracious if humankind is already in distress.
You are
slow to anger;
plenteous in mercy;
speaking in truth;
keeping mercy unto thousands;
forgiving
iniquity;
transgression;
and sin;
and pardoning
because
You are
holy.
