Resurrection prayer...

041

You Who conquered death, hell, and the grave

Reign in me

Conquer the bitter roots that defile

and stink of death

Speak the words, “Come Forth!”

“Loose her from those graveclothes!”

Free me, enlarge me as You have promised

Let nothing grow in the soil of my heart

But that which is life giving

Live in me Resurrected Christ

Conquer all that is not of You

Reign in me O King forever

Cause me to rise and walk

In the newness of life You have promised

Free me from every shackle

That robs me of Your fullness

That robs me of Your joy

Speak the words, “Come Forth!”

“Loose her from those graveclothes!”

Clothe me in garments of praise once again

I want to dance on the high places

With You

 

Still following,

Elizabeth

    That's my favorite part and my particular prayer these days. I think, in fact, that God might have given me where he wants to to go with my Easter SS lesson through you. I had been thinking something, but I feel very convicted after reading this.

    (And about the dishes... we spread them among three homes, four if you count the newlywed niece. That helps)
