One: We are a Resurrection people
called by God to live a Resurrection life.
All: Christ is risen, Christ is risen indeed!
All: Christ is risen, Christ is risen indeed!
We live our lives each day
knowing that Christ has opened the way to new life
to be lived in fullness and forgiveness each and every day.
Even when our lives take us through the dark valleys,
we know we are never alone;
Our Risen Lord is always with us.
in our interactions with our brothers and sisters in this world. Amen
One: So let us not deny the resurrection in our lives,
One: So let us not deny the resurrection in our lives,
but rather go boldly into the world
knowing that in this resurrection life we are a forgiven people
as we share the good news of God’s grace,
in word and deed with the world around us. Amen
All: The LORD is our shepherd,
All: The LORD is our shepherd,
we shall not be in want
for the Lord makes us lie down in green pastures,
and leads me beside quiet waters.
The Lord restores our souls
and guides us in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
One: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
One: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for the Lord is with me;
the Lord’s guidance comforts me.
All: For the Lord prepares a table before us
All: For the Lord prepares a table before us
in the presence of those who would harm us.
The Lord provides us with all we need
and our cup of blessing overflows.
One: Surely goodness and love will follow us all the days of our lives,
All: And we will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
One: Surely goodness and love will follow us all the days of our lives,
All: And we will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
