(based
on readings in Ephesians 2: 1-5)
He made us alive!!
We who were dead in our sins
We who once sought after our own pleasure – in mind and body.
Jesus!
Our Savior
He who died,
hung on a cross
His blood shed for mine.
He bore the pain
and the shame
of my sins – and yours
He brought life
A fresh new life!
God so loved us
loves us still
Awaken! Awaken!
O soul do not linger
He desires you
to come
Come to Him
Accept the gift
of freedom from sin
of new life in Christ
Be alive!
Full of wonder
Full of love
Full of peace
Full of Hope
Come into His presence
Be united
as one, with the Lord
My Lord,
Jesus Christ
Come now, do not delay.
Your life has purpose and meaning
and it can be fulfilled in Christ.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
