God the Father, God beyond us, we adore you.
You are the depth of all that is.
You are the ground of our being.
We can never grasp you,
yet you grasp us;
The universe speaks of you to us,
and your love comes to us through Jesus.
God the Son, God beside us, we adore you.
You are the perfection of humanity.
You have shown us what human life should be like.
In you we see divine love and human greatness combined.
God the Spirit, God around us, we adore you.
You draw us to Jesus and the Father.
You are power within us.
You give abundant life and can make us the men and women
we are meant to be.
Father, Son, and Spirit;
God, beyond, beside, and around us;
We adore you.
Caryl Micklem, 1925 – 2003, English minister and hymn writer
