For an Easter Son-Rise Service a few years ago at Rising City UMC, I adapted Robert Ingram’s prayer to be prayed responsively.
An Easter Prayer: (L = Left, R = Right, A= All) L: Lord, can salvation really be so easy? R: Is there not some price to pay, All: some contract to uphold? L: Is confessing you with our lips, R: and believing in our hearts, All: all that is really necessary? L: Is there not some fine print, R: something we have not been told? All: This is too easy. Is it not? L: If we were God, instead of you, R: there would be hell to pay. All: No one would get off so easy. L: But we, thankfully, are not God; R: and you are unlike any of us. All: There is no price tag on your love. L: Though we live like heathens, R: disobeying you at every turn, All: you wrap us in your salvation. L: “Come,” you say to us, “Come. R: Enjoy the miracle of my love.” All: And we come, Lord. We come. Amen. --Robert D. Ingram, 2011 Grace and peace … --Pastor Pat
