Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, we simply cannot find the words that will do justice to the joy we feel and to the worship that we long to offer you. We praise you for sharing our sin and our shame. We praise you more for the life-renewing light with which you have flooded our lives. We praise you for the hope and joy that flowed over those first witnesses of your rising. We praise you more that the same hope and joy that was theirs still flows into our hearts and lives today. In Jesus we give you glory and praise.

Amen.
