For Joy this Morning

We thank you this morning, Oh Lord
for the joy this morning
the resurrection, the reconciliation
the stone rolled away, the savior Lives
and through his dying, through his raising
We live too!

Alive, new creations
transformed in that instant, that moment
death defeated, our sins forgiven
new people, of the faith,
walking as Abraham, as your disciples
going where we have been called

New beings, this Easter morning
for there is joy within our hearts
swelling within us
Easter people, reborn
Because you gave yourself, for us
and because the stone rolled away
and we live too!
