He Is Risen

Dear Lord, you triumphed o'er the grave
Where you were laid, our souls to save.
We gathered in our church to pray
To thank you for this Easter Day.
Christ is risen, Christ is risen,
To take us from our sinful prison.
As wine we drank and bread we ate,
We served you up with every plate
And now to our black sins confessing,
We ask you Jesus, for your blessing.
Amen



For Brian's contest  won hm

Thank you for your coments today Joyce.My idea about 'phonal' was to try to get some replication of aspects of the many passages in this genre in the NT,that are 'easy to say 'and therefore to remember,like the Grace we even now say from "2Cor 13:14.Thanks for your interest and have a goof day.Rgds Brian
