Trinity Sunday -- Trinitarian Couplets

For my children's sermon yesterday, I wrote some short rhyming couplets for the children's sermon since I wanted to avoid all of the ice-water-steam analogies... I offer them again here for all of our reflections.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Mystery that we inherit.

Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
Not three gods, but Three-in-One.

God the Father made the world,
Through the Spirit and the Word.

God the Son was sent to save all,
So we might live with him eternal.

God the Spirit makes us holy,
Gives us faith to love God wholly.

Holy Trinity we praise you.
In your love, our life’s made new.
