Heavenly Father,
\nWe celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
\nIn Him, you touched our brokenness.
\nIn Him, you offer your fullness.<\/p>\n

We were lost and you found us.
\nWe were sick and you healed us.
\nWe were in darkness and you gave us light.
\nWe stumbled and you carried us.
\nWe were ashamed and you approved us.
\nWe were poor and you crowned us with glory.
\nWe were false and you gave us truth.
\nWe were faithless and you were faithful.
\nWe were prodigal and you welcomed us home.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
\nLet us live lives of\u00a0resurrection and minister your life to all in need.<\/p>\n
