Eternal Source: A Prayer To The Triune God

Prologue

Eternal Father, Source of Creation,
In whose perfect garden mere dust
---made living by holy inspiration---
Received a sacred duty in trust.  

The Fall

	Eternal Father, Source of Life,	
Whose Command betrayed begot the fruits 
--Of daily strife.
We pray now, to endure our suffering test.

The First Command

	Eternal Father, Source of Truth
On whose steadfast Word we stake
--Our proof.
We pray now, accept our love professed.

Salvation

	Eternal Father, Source of Grace,
Whose Son Beloved was sent to take
--Our place.
We pray now, our faith in Him assuage Your wrath.

The Second Command

	Eternal Father, Source of Love,	
Whose in-dwelt Spirit seeks Mercy
--All else above.
We pray now, to walk our neighbor’s path.
