Jesus, You are the Son of God,

And You rose from the dead on Easter Sunday.

You saved us from sin and devil,
Brought us joy and peace,
And gave us new life and hope.

All the things God the Father
made on earth are beautiful:
the sun and sky, fields and meadows,
flowers and trees, birds and animals.

He made them all for His glory
And to make us happy.
But He did not make us for this world;
He made us for heaven.

I am a child of God.
You gave me Your own life of grace
In Baptism
My soul is more beautiful in Your eyes
Than the whole world.

Help me to praise the father
By being his loving child
And by loving You as my Brother.

Where Your Heart is all on fire
With deepest love for me.
