God's Minute

A Prayer for Easter Morning

WE THANK THEE, O God, for the day in which life and immortality were brought to light through the resurrection of our blessed Lord from the dead. We remember that crimson footprints marked His way into the dark tomb, and that with wounded hand the door of death was unlocked. We thank Thee, O God the Father, and Jesus Christ the Saviour, for the love of the Cross and the power of the divine Spirit, whereby the grave was robbed of its victim and a living Saviour appears to cheer and bless. May we live our lives upon the earth as those who are united to Him, raised up with Him, seated with Him in the heavens, and as those who look for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. May the light of His glory shine far this day, reavealing and healing the sins of many hearts. We ask in His name.

Amen.
