One: Our ancestors exchanged your glory for the image of an ox that
eats grass.
All: We exchange your glory for cars, perfect children, and
younger skin.
One: Our ancestors forgot the great things you had done in Egypt, and
awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
All: We forget you, too, O God, even though you continue to move
in and through our lives.
One: Moses stood his ground with you and asked for a second chance.
