You are the Lord of Life
we praise you for all you give
We praise you for creation
A world teaming with life and beauty
The lush dark greens of our native bush
The lighter hew of farmland and orchard
The melody and harmony of our Island of birds
The richness of marine life in the vaste deep blue beyond our shore
For the uniqueness and difference of your people
You are the Lord of Life
Help us to care for your world
We praise you for our lives
The newness in life that a baby brings
The sense of awe and adventure in toddlers exploring steps
A fresh eye on the world in the inquisitive questions of a child
The vigour and passion of youth
The Care and love of a parent’s embrace and nurture
The wisdom and maturity of older generations
You are the Lord of life
Help us to love one another
WE praise you for new and abundant life in Christ
We were lost and you sent your son to find us
We did not know you but in Jesus you made yourself known
We were burdened down in sin and in Christ you forgave us
Because of Jesus death and resurrection we have a clean slate and a new start
You fill us with your spirit to empower and guide, comfort and council
You lead us home to you through life to your father’s house
You are the lord of life
Help us to walk in the life you give
