Ooh, journey…

Verse 1:
There’s a road unlike any other, one that Jesus walked in His time.
The “Easter Road” on which He calls us: “Take my hand and walk with Me
On a journey that will lead you to who you are meant to be.”

Verse 2:
He brings us to a Father whose loving stirs our hearts and moves our souls;
Who came to know our pain and our sorrow, and then wiped our tears away;
Who by the hope He shone on people, turned the darkness into day.

Refrain 1a:
Take our hands, lead us Lord, let us walk with You down the Easter Road.
Change our hearts, move our souls with the love we find on the Easter Road.

Refrain 1b:
So that our eyes may see You in all things; that our hands reach out to give;
So that our hearts may open to embrace this world!
Lord, let each moment be a step along Your road!
Let our lives be a journey down the Easter Road.

Verse 3:
Lead us to a Father of loving. Stir our hearts and shape our ways.
Bring us to those in pain and in sorrow, that we may wipe their tears away.
To bring Your light unto Your people, to turn their darkness into day.

Refrain 2a:
Take our hands, lead us, Lord,
Let me walk with You down the Easter Road!

Refrain 2b:
Give us new eyes that see You in all things; take our hands and teach us to give;
Open our hearts and make us embrace this world!
Let each moment be a step along Your road!
Let our lives be a journey down the Easter Road.

Coda:
Let our lives be a journey down the Easter Road.
Ooh, journey…

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
