God, our Father, we rejoice in your love made known to us in Jesus
Christ. He died for us while we were yet sinners and with him we
are raised to eternal life through the power and the love of your Holy
Spirit.
We know, through the teaching of Jesus, that you value us, that even
the hairs on our heads are numbered and that you know us by name.
Through him also, we know that we are forgiven, set free from our
sins and given a new start in life.
Above all, we know that your love can never be exhausted, that
nothing can stand in its way; that nothing can keep it from us.
Keep me praising till the break of day!
