A Triune Prayer (Anderson/Ijames)
American pastor Chris Anderson and composer Molly Ijames wrote the hymn A Triune Prayer in 2010. Through the four verses, the text considers God in Three Persons.
Verse 1 echoes the prayers of David in Psalm 51, asking the Heavenly Father to cast out our sin, while still drawing us near. Verse 2 appeals to the grace of Jesus Christ, to plead our case. Verse 3 calls out to the Holy Spirit to intercede for the broken and the weak. The final verse culminates in a prayer to the whole Trinity in longing for God’s perfect Kingdom:

Triune God, please grant our prayer as Your glory we declare.
May Your promised kingdom come; may Your will on earth be done.
