Here is an Easter call to worship from Carole Penner’s Leading in Worship blog.
Call to Worship for Easter
(inspired by Luke 1:78-79; John 1:4-5; John 11:25)
Come to me, all you who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death!
On you has the light shone!
and in the shadow of death!
On you has the light shone!
For Jesus Christ is the light of the world
and this is the story;
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness could not put it out!
and this is the story;
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness could not put it out!
Jesus said,
“I am the resurrection and the life.
I am the bright and morning star.”
“I am the resurrection and the life.
I am the bright and morning star.”
We join with the angels in their hymns of praise;
Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace, Alleluia!
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace, Alleluia!
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
