Rejoicing In God's Power

Almighty God, Author of life and Lord of heaven and earth; We praise you for all your deeds of strength and glory.  We especially thank you for sending  your Son into this world of sin, sorrow and death, and especially for His power to bring back life and hope.  Accept our undying gratitude for the promise of a reunion with loved ones in a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  We pray in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
