The Joyful Ringers

arr. Geschke Elder Robert Barkley I Timothy 1:15

Thine Is the Glory

JUDAS MACCABEUS

*LITANY OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE We move from cruel cross to empty tomb; The routines of life have deadened us, but we believe that joy and creativity lie ahead. We move from testing cross to empty tomb; We have faced the harsh realities, but we believe that life will laugh and dance once more. We move from evil cross to empty tomb; Injustice is no longer acceptable, and we believe that sinful powers will be confronted. We move from hopeless cross to empty tomb; Our faith has been marked by apathy, but we believe that our spirits will sing as we go about Christs saving work. The stone has been rolled away; the risen life is ours in Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God! AMEN. *GLORIA PATRI #579 * TIME FOR YOUNG DISCIPLES GREATOREX
