We Remember you, O Risen Lord

We remember You, O risen Lord, first-born of the dead.
Your resurrection destroys the power of death
and changes tears of agony into cries of joy.
Blessed are You!

We remember You, O risen Lord, new Springtime in our life.
Your resurrection covers the fields with flowers
and brings the new creation into our hearts.
Blessed are You!

We remember You, O risen Lord, new Exodus from the land of sin.
Your resurrection gives us the signal
for a new departure in a life of grace.
Blessed are You!

We remember You, O risen Lord, new Moses on the mountain.
Your resurrection opens the gates
of the new heavens and the new earth.
Blessed are You!

We remember You, O risen Lord, prophet of the messianic time.
Your resurrection initiates the law
of the new love with a renewed heart.
Blessed are You!

We remember You, O risen Lord,
new Covenant at the feast of the cross.
Your resurrection dresses the table
for the bread of heaven and the cup of salvation.
Blessed are You!    (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
