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.
