In the beginning, before pain and sinning, the Lord of life made everything good; but we disobeyed him, rejected, betrayed him, so God sent Christ, the Life of the world! Eyes never seeing, from truth always fleeing, now saw the Lord bring sight to the blind; and deaf ears, unhearing until his appearing, were healed by Christ, the Life of the world! Darkness can cover the universe over; injustice, sin, and violence prevail; Yet God's Spirit moves us to tell how God loves us, proclaiming Christ, the Life of the world! Each son and daughter, in bread, wine, and water, my claim the Father's grace through the Son; and when the grave takes us our faith in God makes us alive in Christ, the Life of the world! Nothing can please us without life in Jesus, to him we're joined as fruit to the vine; the Spirit invites us, the Father unites us, made one in Christ, the Life of the world!
