Opening Prayer
You died that we might be forgiven, Lord; but that was not the end. You plundered death, and made its jail-house shudder - strode into life to meet Your startled friends.
We have a dream that all the world will meet You, and know You, Jesus, in Your living power, *
that someday soon all people everywhere will hear Your story, and hear it in a way they understand.

Praying the Scripture
He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
According to what they have done, so will he repay wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes; he will repay the islands their due. *
From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory. For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives along. "The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins," declares the LORD.
- Isaiah 59:16-20 (New International Version)

Ending Prayer
My eyes, my eyes have seen the King. The vision of His beauty has pierced me deep within. To whom else can I go? My heart, my heart desires Him. He's touched something inside of me that's now reaching out for Him. And I know that I must go. My God is my love, my guard, my healing one; my bright love is my merciful Lord; my sweet love is Christ; His heart is my delight; all my love are You, O King of glory. Amen.
