Risen Savior,

Morning has broken like the first morning, but this one is special.

We gather here today for the biggest party of the year.

Our hearts are full because your tomb lay empty.

We can let go of anxiety.

We have peace in your sovereignty.

We can let go of selfish anger.

We have joy in your abundant love.

We can let go of despair.

We have hope in your resurrection.

Most of all, Lord, we can let go of death.

We have everlasting life in you.

Jesus, in our darkest nights and in our brightest mornings, help us to remember these truths.

We are so grateful. Amen.
