- | Easter morning. | 30:40 |
The beginning of a new week. | 30:42 | |
The celebration of a new age. | 30:44 | |
The anniversary of the death of death. | 30:47 | |
Jesus is lord, not a figure in a book, | 30:51 | |
but a living presence. | 30:55 | |
Not a good man now dead, but the risen savior. | 30:57 | |
The lord is risen, he is risen indeed. | 31:02 | |
In the power of his life-giving spirit, | 31:07 | |
let us worship God, and to that one God, | 31:09 | |
let us confess our sin. | 31:13 | |
Eternal God, when our eyes are too full of our own visions, | 31:31 | |
when our ears are too full of our own sounds, | 31:37 | |
when our mouths are too full of our own wisdom, | 31:40 | |
when our hearts are too full of our own concerns, | 31:44 | |
break through. | 31:47 | |
Liberate us from the narrow worlds which constrict our soul. | 31:49 | |
Liberate us from the fear which blinds us | 31:54 | |
to the newness of your work on the horizon. | 31:57 | |
Liberate us from the occupation with the trivial | 32:01 | |
and uneasiness with what is great. | 32:04 | |
Liberate us into the kingdom of God. | 32:07 | |
Bring us through birth and rebirth, | 32:10 | |
through giving and forgiving, | 32:13 | |
through loving and loving kindness, | 32:16 | |
through using us and preparing us for use, | 32:19 | |
through judgment and grace, into your kingdom, | 32:23 | |
through Christ, our risen lord, amen. | 32:27 | |
My sisters, my brothers, here, believe the good news. | 32:33 | |
There is no power, no person, no thing, | 32:39 | |
that can separate us from the love of God come to us | 32:43 | |
in Christ, Jesus our lord. | 32:46 | |
In him, we are redeemed, quickened, made whole again. | 32:49 | |
On this new morning, experience God's presence. | 32:55 | |
Savor God's grace. | 33:00 | |
You are forgiven. | 33:03 | |
You are free at last. | 33:05 | |
Free to live life afresh, and with hope. | 33:08 | |
Let us give thanks, for God is good, | 33:14 | |
and God's love is everlasting. | 33:17 | |
Thanks be to God, by whose love we have been made. | 33:20 | |
Thanks be to God, by whose grace we have been made whole. | 33:24 | |
Thanks be to God, by whose resurrection of Christ, | 33:29 | |
we are promised life everlasting, amen. | 33:33 | |
Let us pray. | 33:45 | |
Oh God, you who commanded the light to shine | 33:51 | |
out of darkness, shine into our hearts | 33:54 | |
to give the light of the knowledge of your glory | 33:58 | |
in the face of Jesus Christ, amen. | 34:01 | |
The Old Testament lesson is from Exodus, | 34:07 | |
chapter 14, verses 10-14. | 34:09 | |
When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel | 34:14 | |
lifted up their eyes and behold, | 34:17 | |
the Egyptians were marching after them, | 34:20 | |
and they were in great fear. | 34:23 | |
And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, | 34:25 | |
and they said to Moses, is it because | 34:28 | |
there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken | 34:31 | |
us away to die in the wilderness? | 34:33 | |
What have you done to us, in bring us out of Egypt? | 34:36 | |
Is not this what we said to you in Egypt? | 34:41 | |
Let us alone, and let us serve the Egyptians, | 34:44 | |
for it would have been better for us | 34:47 | |
to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness. | 34:49 | |
And Moses said to the people, fear not, stand firm, | 34:53 | |
and see the salvation of the lord, | 34:58 | |
which he will work for you today. | 35:01 | |
For the Egyptians whom you see today, | 35:04 | |
you shall never see again. | 35:06 | |
The lord will fight for you, | 35:09 | |
and you have only to be still. | 35:11 | |
Here ends the reading from the Old Testament. | 35:14 | |
The epistle lesson is from Colossians chapter three, | 35:19 | |
versus 1-11. | 35:23 | |
If then you have been raised with Christ, | 35:26 | |
seek the things that are above, where Christ is, | 35:30 | |
seated at the right hand of God. | 35:33 | |
Set your minds on things that are above, | 35:36 | |
not on things that are on Earth. | 35:39 | |
For you have died, and your life | 35:41 | |
is hid with Christ and God. | 35:44 | |
When Christ, who is our life appears, | 35:47 | |
then you also will appear with him in glory. | 35:50 | |
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you. | 35:53 | |
Fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, | 35:56 | |
and covetousness, which is idolatry. | 36:01 | |
On account of these, the wrath of God is coming. | 36:04 | |
In these you once walked, when you lived in them, | 36:08 | |
but now put them all away. | 36:11 | |
Anger, wrath, malice, slander, | 36:14 | |
and foul talk from your mouth. | 36:18 | |
Do not lie to one another. | 36:20 | |
Seeing that you have put off the old nature | 36:23 | |
with its practices, and have put on the new nature, | 36:25 | |
which is being renewed in the knowledge | 36:28 | |
after the image of its creator. | 36:31 | |
Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, | 36:33 | |
circumcised and uncircumcised. | 36:36 | |
Barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man. | 36:39 | |
But Christ is all, and in all. | 36:43 | |
Here ends the reading from the epistle lesson. | 36:47 | |
(choir and orchestra) | 36:59 | |
Will the congregation please stand, | 43:38 | |
for the reading of the gospel lesson. | 43:39 | |
The gospel lesson is from Matthew, | 43:48 | |
chapter 28, verses 1-10. | 43:50 | |
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn | 43:56 | |
of the first day of the week, | 43:58 | |
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary | 44:01 | |
went to see the sepulcher. | 44:02 | |
And behold, there was a great earthquake, | 44:04 | |
for an angel of the lord descended from heaven, | 44:07 | |
and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. | 44:10 | |
His appearance was like lightning, | 44:14 | |
and his raiment white as snow. | 44:16 | |
And for fear of him, the guards trembled, | 44:19 | |
and became like dead men. | 44:21 | |
But the angel said to the women, do not be afraid, | 44:24 | |
for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. | 44:28 | |
He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. | 44:32 | |
Come, see the place where he lay, | 44:37 | |
then go quickly and tell his disciples | 44:40 | |
that he has risen from the dead. | 44:42 | |
And behold, he is going before you to Galilee. | 44:44 | |
There you will see him. | 44:48 | |
Lo, I have told you. | 44:50 | |
So they departed quickly from the tomb | 44:52 | |
with fear and great joy, and ran | 44:54 | |
to tell his disciples. | 44:57 | |
And behold, Jesus met them, and said hail, | 44:59 | |
and they came up and took hold of his feet, | 45:03 | |
and worshiped him. | 45:05 | |
Then Jesus said to them, do not be afraid, | 45:07 | |
go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, | 45:11 | |
and there they will see me. | 45:14 | |
Here ends the reading from the gospel lesson, amen. | 45:17 | |
(orchestra and choir together) | 45:22 | |
- | And so they departed quickly from the tomb, | 46:29 |
with fear and great joy, and ran to tell the disciples. | 46:32 | |
Let us pray. | 46:38 | |
Open our hearts and minds, oh God, we pray | 46:43 | |
to receive once again the glory | 46:46 | |
of the resurrection experience, | 46:49 | |
and the promise of life eternal. | 46:51 | |
In Christ's name we pray, amen. | 46:54 | |
What we have to do on-- | 47:00 |
is to take ourselves back into the mood | 0:03 | |
of that first Easter morning. | 0:06 | |
David Reed has said, that the real question of Easter | 0:10 | |
is to rediscover for ourselves what it is, | 0:14 | |
that made the disciples glad. | 0:18 | |
You can safely bet, that they were not glad at first. | 0:21 | |
I'm afraid, that many of us having seen passion plays | 0:26 | |
all have a kind of picture in our minds | 0:31 | |
of these weeping women and despondent disciples | 0:35 | |
suddenly rejoicing in the fact of an empty tomb. | 0:39 | |
Surely, it was not so. | 0:44 | |
It took a long while for this | 0:47 | |
unbelievable reality to break through. | 0:51 | |
All the Easter stories in the gospels begin | 0:56 | |
not with gladness and joy, but with sorrow | 1:00 | |
and deep darkness. | 1:05 | |
Stunned people were unable to accept what they had seen | 1:07 | |
and felt, and heard on a hill. | 1:12 | |
Moreover, Jesus followers had deserted him | 1:15 | |
and many of them were thoroughly ashamed. | 1:19 | |
Peter himself had denied knowing him | 1:23 | |
and was hiding out somewhere in the night | 1:26 | |
far off into the hills. | 1:29 | |
The women came down early in the morning, | 1:33 | |
when the sabbath was ended | 1:36 | |
with the spices ready in their hands. | 1:38 | |
They were ready to anoint his body, | 1:41 | |
a ritual they had been denied earlier. | 1:45 | |
It was the grave they came to see, not a garden. | 1:48 | |
It was a funeral they expected, not a festival. | 1:53 | |
And their first reaction was not gladness, | 1:58 | |
it was a fear akin to terror. | 2:01 | |
This very mixture of fear and joy | 2:05 | |
is most fully captured | 2:09 | |
in Matthew's accounts of the scene at the empty tomb. | 2:11 | |
He has carefully placed for us the sequence of events | 2:16 | |
following the crucifixion of Jesus. | 2:21 | |
He reminds us, that Joseph of Arimathea had gone to Pilate | 2:25 | |
and asked for the privilege of having the body of Jesus. | 2:30 | |
After himself wrapping the body in a linen shroud, | 2:36 | |
he laid it in his own tomb, rolling a great stone | 2:40 | |
over the front of it. | 2:45 | |
Matthew also tells us, that official action was taken | 2:47 | |
by Pilate to secure that particular tomb. | 2:51 | |
Already, rumors were abroad, that Jesus' disciples | 2:57 | |
would try to steal the body. | 3:00 | |
And thus a guard of soldiers was ordered | 3:03 | |
to seal the stone and to guard the tomb. | 3:06 | |
Matthew wants us desperately to sense the mighty presence | 3:11 | |
of God at work in spite of all the precautions, | 3:16 | |
that the Pilate took, with all the resources | 3:21 | |
of the Roman empire, Matthew tells us, | 3:25 | |
that nothing, absolutely nothing could prevent | 3:29 | |
the action of God in this resurrection. | 3:33 | |
The writer Matthew was intent on answering charges, | 3:38 | |
that the resurrection was a hoax. | 3:42 | |
And so he tells us about the earthquake | 3:45 | |
and the angel appearing, who rolled away the stone. | 3:49 | |
In fear, he tells us the guards quickly became catatonic. | 3:54 | |
But Mary Magdalene and Mary, | 4:00 | |
mother of Joseph and James | 4:03 | |
were reassured by this angel. | 4:06 | |
This messenger of hope sent by God. | 4:10 | |
On that first Easter morning, the women trudged | 4:14 | |
to the tomb as if it were the dead end | 4:19 | |
of all the hopes they had stores of in Jesus. | 4:23 | |
For them, it was the last lap in a feudal wraith, | 4:27 | |
the last mile in the Boston marathon | 4:32 | |
and no one was waiting for them. | 4:36 | |
They were determined to cross the finish line, | 4:39 | |
to live their dream of this man, Jesus. | 4:43 | |
And so, they came, they would anoint the body | 4:48 | |
and be done with it. | 4:51 | |
Their love for Jesus was still strong, | 4:54 | |
but their fath in him was crushed. | 4:57 | |
And suddenly, for these women, the earth shakes | 5:01 | |
beneath their feet and an angel comes, | 5:05 | |
urging them to take courage, do not be afraid. | 5:08 | |
And again, the angel encourages the women | 5:14 | |
and they run off down the path, that seemed so long | 5:18 | |
just a few moments before. | 5:23 | |
Yes, they were terribly confused and terribly frightened, | 5:26 | |
but life for them was no longer meaningless. | 5:31 | |
As they hurried down that road, | 5:36 | |
suddenly Jesus was with them | 5:40 | |
not dead, not hanging from a cross, | 5:43 | |
but near, alive, | 5:48 | |
greeting them as he had so often done before. | 5:50 | |
No wonder they worshiped him, | 5:55 | |
no wonder they bent down | 5:58 | |
and knelt, and touched him, and held him. | 6:01 | |
Jesus released them saying to them, | 6:05 | |
do not be afraid, go and tell. | 6:09 | |
Not only was Jesus alive, | 6:13 | |
but these women were alive again. | 6:16 | |
For they were now running and hoping and laughing, | 6:20 | |
and filled with wonder again. | 6:24 | |
They were running to tell the disciples all they had seen. | 6:26 | |
These women hurried on their way. | 6:31 | |
Most of the disciples through that first dismal Easter day | 6:36 | |
were sorely miserable. | 6:42 | |
But little by little, trough confusing and then conflicting | 6:44 | |
rumors and reports, the truth about this Jesus | 6:49 | |
broke through and then, finally, finally, | 6:55 | |
were the disciples made glad. | 7:00 | |
Every Easter morning, the empty tomb and the resurrection | 7:05 | |
come again to confront us and we ask the question, | 7:10 | |
what does the cross mean? | 7:15 | |
How do we account for it, this compelling attractiveness | 7:19 | |
of Jesus, the Christ. | 7:24 | |
And how is it, that the execution of a young revolutionary | 7:27 | |
Jew centuries ago has challenged our minds | 7:32 | |
and haunted our hearts ever since. | 7:37 | |
Easter for us is not simply | 7:42 | |
a recollection of a past event. | 7:45 | |
It is not even in its representation in word | 7:49 | |
and sacrament and pageantry | 7:54 | |
the gathered community of faith. | 7:57 | |
Easter somehow for us, by celebrating our own participation | 8:00 | |
in the rhythm life of Jesus Christ. | 8:06 | |
That life for us, as Christians, is initiated | 8:10 | |
in baptism, nourished in holy communion | 8:13 | |
and born out of the struggle and suffering of community. | 8:18 | |
It seems to me, that resurrection in the Bible | 8:23 | |
has never been a private affair or an individual experience, | 8:27 | |
but is this act of God for the whole people of God. | 8:33 | |
It is first and foremost for us a sign | 8:39 | |
of God's sovereign presence. | 8:42 | |
For the whole life story of Jesus is interpreted | 8:46 | |
as an act of God's own self communication to the world | 8:50 | |
and the crucifixion was a radical calling into question | 8:56 | |
of the validity of that very word and that life | 9:01 | |
by the contemporaries of Jesus. | 9:06 | |
The resurrection in turn is God's vindication | 9:10 | |
of the validity of that word and that life. | 9:14 | |
All, that Christ stood for in his earthly life | 9:20 | |
came clear in the resurrection experience. | 9:24 | |
The body of Christ for us is not the continued influence | 9:28 | |
of a figure in past history or teaching, | 9:33 | |
or example of his life. | 9:36 | |
It is rather the continuation of that same word and work | 9:39 | |
through you and through me. | 9:44 | |
Easter then celebrates our own participation | 9:49 | |
in the risen life of Christ. | 9:54 | |
Jesus believed in human nature, | 9:57 | |
that's what the cross means. | 10:01 | |
Jesus believed in humanity so much, | 10:04 | |
that he bowed his head and died in the confidence, | 10:08 | |
that all of humanity was worth dying for. | 10:13 | |
He actually believed, that people had it in them | 10:18 | |
to be the children of God. | 10:24 | |
To walk the high path of life he had opened | 10:27 | |
and that his righteous cause could be entrusted | 10:31 | |
in our faulty human hands. | 10:35 | |
That was incredible faith | 10:39 | |
and is it not precisely | 10:43 | |
the kind of faith, that you and I need this Easter day? | 10:46 | |
Is this resurrection story, the resurrection hope a lie? | 10:52 | |
I confess it must be true, because I have known | 10:59 | |
and felt and seen the power of the risen Christ. | 11:04 | |
How many, many times have I witnessed the breaking | 11:09 | |
of the bread of life among the members of this community. | 11:15 | |
How many times have we lifted up together | 11:20 | |
the cup of sorrow and of joy. | 11:25 | |
When hopes were dashed, successes fleeting, | 11:29 | |
exhaustion apparent, | 11:33 | |
disappointment and failure set in. | 11:36 | |
When death comes for someone you love very much, | 11:40 | |
life becomes awful, | 11:45 | |
life itself seems at times | 11:48 | |
like the worst horrible plotting reality. | 11:51 | |
Lent and loneliness always come to us | 11:56 | |
before Easter morning. | 12:01 | |
But then, the light of a loving | 12:05 | |
presence comes through | 12:09 | |
a caring act, | 12:12 | |
a forgiving word and Jesus says, | 12:14 | |
do not be afraid, anything can happen now. | 12:18 | |
Jesus the Christ put an end to death and despair | 12:24 | |
for those of us, who believe in him. | 12:29 | |
I've noticed, that there has been a recent running dialogue | 12:34 | |
in the student paper, the chronicle. | 12:39 | |
Students have been deeply questioning | 12:42 | |
the very meaning of life and doing so in that context. | 12:45 | |
Coincidentally, perhaps or not, during holy week | 12:51 | |
it seemed to me, that the logical arguments | 12:56 | |
about God became rather focused and intense. | 12:59 | |
Declaration of belief in God and unbelief | 13:05 | |
have been made all around us. | 13:10 | |
Meanwhile, I am aware, that some people are taking | 13:14 | |
their faith very seriously | 13:19 | |
and living out of the power of the resurrection. | 13:22 | |
While other 11 year olds are doing homework | 13:27 | |
or watching TV, a little boy named Trevor Ferrell | 13:30 | |
and his parents are spending their evenings | 13:35 | |
ministering to Derelicts in the city of brotherly love. | 13:39 | |
For dozens of street people in Philadelphia | 13:44 | |
the appearance of the Ferrell van with food, clothes, | 13:48 | |
pillow and blanket and mostly human love and touch | 13:53 | |
is a slant of light in an existence, | 13:59 | |
that is mostly dark in their lives. | 14:03 | |
Now, this all started when Trevor saw a news segment | 14:06 | |
last December on the city's plight of the homeless. | 14:11 | |
He says, I couldn't believe, that people lived that way. | 14:16 | |
I knew there were some poor people, | 14:22 | |
but I thought they were in India, not here. | 14:25 | |
New life, new hope has blossomed from the efforts | 14:29 | |
of one small boy, who is taking quite seriously | 14:35 | |
Jesus commandment to love, to identify with | 14:40 | |
and to help the poor. | 14:46 | |
For nearly three years now a ragtag band | 14:50 | |
of women demonstrators have captured headlines | 14:53 | |
around the world by camping just outside a gate | 14:57 | |
to protest the deployment of US made missiles. | 15:03 | |
This week British police converged on them | 15:07 | |
at the main gate at the royal air force base | 15:11 | |
at Greenham Common. | 15:14 | |
And at week's end I learned, that the same groups | 15:16 | |
of women had returned to the perimeter of the air base | 15:20 | |
with their sleeping bags and provisions. | 15:24 | |
Could it be, just could it be possible, | 15:28 | |
that their actions seemingly insignificant to us | 15:33 | |
in the United States are the mouths of babes | 15:38 | |
speaking wisdom to our own human folly, | 15:42 | |
that seems to be bent on self destruction. | 15:46 | |
I am aware, that nothing has changed so many lives | 15:52 | |
as the story of Calvary and the happening of the cross, | 15:57 | |
for to me, it represents a sublime, | 16:03 | |
unbelievable faith in human kind. | 16:06 | |
If you have lost faith in yourself, he hasn't. | 16:10 | |
If you have lost faith in other people, he hasn't. | 16:15 | |
If you have lost confidence in the future, he hasn't. | 16:20 | |
Jesus never lost faith in people, | 16:25 | |
he never despaired | 16:29 | |
of human nature nor in the future, nor in the triumph | 16:31 | |
of his righteous cause. | 16:36 | |
Not even at the cross, where he was beaten down | 16:39 | |
by the same kind of brutality, that is making cynics | 16:45 | |
of people like you and me today. | 16:50 | |
On this Easter day | 16:55 | |
let us join together joyfully | 16:57 | |
to proclaim with Christians everywhere | 17:01 | |
the story and the promise of Easter. | 17:04 | |
Low Jesus meets thee risen from the tomb, | 17:08 | |
lovingly he greets thee scattering fear and gloom. | 17:13 | |
Let his church with gladness hymns of triumph bring, | 17:19 | |
for the lord now liveth, death has lost its sting. | 17:24 | |
Thine is the glory risen conquering sun. | 17:29 | |
Endless is the victory thou in death hast won. | 17:34 | |
Hallelujah and amen. | 17:40 | |
- | We have god's good news declared, | 17:55 |
let us now unite together in this historic confession | 17:58 | |
of the Christian faith. | 18:01 | |
I believe in God, the father almighty, | 18:13 | |
maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, | 18:16 | |
his only son, our lord. | 18:19 | |
Who was conceived by the holy spirit, | 18:22 | |
born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, | 18:24 | |
was crucified dead and buried. | 18:29 | |
The third day he rose from the dead, | 18:32 | |
he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand | 18:35 | |
of God, the father almighty. | 18:38 | |
From then he shall come to judge the quick and the dead, | 18:40 | |
I believe in the holy spirit, the holy Catholic church, | 18:44 | |
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, | 18:49 | |
the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting, amen. | 18:53 | |
The lord be with you. | 18:59 | |
- | And with you too. | 19:01 |
- | Let us pray. | 19:03 |
Vast God, | 19:16 | |
incarnate one, | 19:18 | |
now, the suffering servant broken on the tree, | 19:21 | |
now, the God assaulting death for the sake of each of us. | 19:25 | |
Triumphals trumpets declare you. | 19:29 | |
Bells clamor the songs all breath and tongues | 19:34 | |
across the earth, the earth itself praise your resurrection. | 19:37 | |
To be praised are you, oh, creating one | 19:44 | |
out of who's divine imaginings spins the cosmos. | 19:47 | |
And this earth, who's river's wander to the sea, | 19:52 | |
who's valleys resound with pregnant silences. | 19:56 | |
Who's mountains are the mountains of your divine laughter. | 20:01 | |
Receive from us, oh, lord, the joy, | 20:05 | |
that transcends every joy. | 20:08 | |
For by your Easter, you awaken all peoples | 20:11 | |
from deathly slumber, release our hearts from fear, | 20:15 | |
teach us the ways of your compassion. | 20:20 | |
Thus we give you our thanks, that all flesh | 20:25 | |
shall stand at last, loved, forgiven, | 20:30 | |
beckoned to dwell in the presence of the risen Christ. | 20:36 | |
Oh, lord, and giver of life, on this Easter morning | 20:42 | |
cause us to see ourselves not as creatures of the old order | 20:47 | |
but anew in the mirror of the resurrection | 20:53 | |
made in your image. | 20:56 | |
Enable us to open our timid souls to the glad tidings | 20:59 | |
of this day, strengthen us to live empowered | 21:02 | |
by the energy of resurrection. | 21:08 | |
Make us to walk as a people, who share in the joyful | 21:10 | |
noises of victory, who anticipate the day, | 21:13 | |
when disease has conquered and all wars ended, | 21:17 | |
and hatred is no more. | 21:22 | |
And every selfish concern is crowded out by your presence. | 21:26 | |
Oh, wooing Yahweh, who intends, that every moment | 21:34 | |
be alive with Easter, enter our prayers, | 21:39 | |
that what we speak, we speak as a resurrection people, | 21:45 | |
longing, hoping, expecting what we ask. | 21:48 | |
Do keep our concerns worthy of our calling. | 21:53 | |
Make our flesh and wills ready to act on our words. | 21:58 | |
Be unto all, who are afflicted the resource of mercy. | 22:03 | |
That the aches and fevers of the body may be healed. | 22:08 | |
The mind's dark terrors made to flee, | 22:12 | |
the heart's loneliness vanished. | 22:16 | |
And as we pray to you for all the world, | 22:20 | |
that requires mending, we ask especially, | 22:22 | |
that the world be re-bute, chastened, | 22:26 | |
loved into discovering again its true purpose. | 22:30 | |
Praising you, embracing and loving all others. | 22:35 | |
Through Jesus the Christ, our risen, redeeming lord | 22:41 | |
and the one, who gives to his sisters | 22:47 | |
and brothers this prayer. | 22:49 | |
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, | 22:53 | |
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, | 22:59 | |
on earth as it is in heaven. | 23:02 | |
Give us this day our daily bread | 23:05 | |
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those, | 23:09 | |
who trespass against us. | 23:12 | |
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, | 23:14 | |
for thine is the kingdom and the power, | 23:19 | |
and the glory, forever, amen. | 23:23 | |

Who we are, oh, lord and what we have we bring. | 31:01 | |
Our doubts, fears, failures, yes, | 31:05 | |
but also our trust, our knowledge, | 31:08 | |
our eagerness to minister. | 31:10 | |
To let you in love reach the world through us | 31:13 | |
and our money we bring too, not to earn your favor, | 31:17 | |
but as a means of enabling your compassion to abound | 31:21 | |
and kingdom to come and the holy day of universal shalom | 31:25 | |
to hasten its arrival. | 31:30 | |
To this end we dedicate ourselves and our gifts | 31:33 | |
and ask your blessing in Jesus's name | 31:37 | |
and for his sake, amen. | 31:42 | |
