Celebrate 5

New life bursting forth

Like Lazarus from his tomb,

Goodbye to death's stink.

Unbound

"The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth, Jesus said to them,, 'Unbind him, and let him go.'" John 11:44




Unbind us
From whatever holds us back:
Our fears,
   selfishness,
       lack of self confidence
            skepticism.

Let us go
To share with others
How you have freed us,
   given us new hope,
       healing,
           life!
