Christ our life,
You are alive in the beauty of the earth
in the rhythm of the seasons
in the mystery of time and space.
ALLELUIA
 
Christ our life,
You are alive in the tenderness of touch
in the heartbeat of intimacy
in the insights of solitude.
ALLELUIA
 
Christ our life,
You are alive in the creative possibility
of the dullest conversation
the dreariest task
the most nerve-racking event.
ALLELUIA
 
Christ our life,
You are alive to offer new creation
to every unhealed hurt
to every deadened place
to every damaged heart.
ALLELUIA
 
You set before us a great choice.
Therefore we choose life.
ALLELUIA
