“Expansive Life”
LASST UNS ERFREUEN 8.8.4.4.8.8 with refrain (“All Creatures of Our God and King”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2021
Music: Geistliche Kirchengesäng, 1623

Though it seemed foolish to have faith
Back to the garden women came
Alleluia! Alleluia!
They came although their hearts were torn
With spices to prepare and mourn
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Where Jesus lay, angels instead
Asked why they look among the dead
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Remember and trust in his word
Though resurrection seems absurd
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Now God has opened up the tomb
Like budding flower now in bloom
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Christ lives again who once had died
So we may have expansive life
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
