Water, splashing hands and face, tells of God's refreshing grace. Shared with gladness, wine and bread show a people freed and fed. Touching us through common things, healing love the Spirit brings. Thus God's covenant is known. Alleluia! Welcome home! Long ago, with shouts of praise telling God's amazing ways, slaves, escaping through the sea, hailed the power that set them free: love, by law and promise sealed, through the centuries revealed. In this story we belong. Alleluia! Join the song! Tell how Jesus lived and led. Treasure all he did and said: teacher, healer, Spirit-filled, peasant-prophet, captured, killed. From his life the Spirit soars, all of history explores, reaching us and seeking all. Alleluia! Hear the call! Grateful, faithful, come today. Promise now in Christ to stay, caring, growing into health, finding worth and sharing wealth, patiently, in age and youth, seeking justice, peace and truth. Sing, with hearts and voices raised, Alleluia! God be praised!
