He Lives
Opening Responsive reading from the Old Testament, from Psalm 16:5-11
Leader: The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
People: The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage.
Leader: I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
People: I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Leader: Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure.
People: For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit.
Leader: You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy;
All: in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
