Without You, Lord Jesus,

we would be lost in a dark and despairing world,

without joy and without life.

Without You, Lord Jesus,

we would be frozen in a cold and meaningless existence,

without hope and without a future.

 

But, You are the Risen and Living One

Who leads us out of our tombs of despondency & fear

and fills our lives with rejoicing.

 

And so, we give You our gratitude – in the words we speak,

in the songs we sing

and in the lives we live,

wholly filled with You.

 

Amen.
