pause: (HE IS RISEN INDEED!)

The risen Christ meets us at the tomb,

and turns our tears to joy.

For your love and goodness

we give you thanks, O God.

Christ comes through our locked doors,

and turns our fear to courage.

For your love and goodness

we give you thanks, O God.

Christ comes to daily life and work,

and turns our failure to new vision.

For your love and goodness

we give you thanks, O God.

Christ breaks the bread,

and turns our despair to hope.

For your love and goodness

we give you thanks, O God.

"Thanksgiving for God's Love and Goodness"
