Covenant, God keeps his promises! (2)


Remember


Jesus wants us to remember him.
He gave us a meal.

Bread.
To remember that he was real –
A body like ours
That was bruised
And was broken
And that died on a cross.

Wine.
To remember that he had life like us –
Breath in his lungs
And blood in his veins
Blood that flowed out
When he died on a cross.

Jesus wants us to remember him.
He gave us his life.

You have…


Creator and our loving God
We thank you
And we praise you.

You have made us in your image
And have promised
To love us
And to protect us.

You have sent your son
To be our Saviour.
To love us
And to lead us.

You have left us your spirit
To surround us each day.
To love us
And to bring us comfort.

May we know your protection,
Be happy to follow
And feel your comfort
Today, and every day.


Yes


Jesus calls us to walk with him,
Jesus calls us to live like him,
Jesus calls us.

Will we follow?

Jesus shows us what to do,
Jesus shows us where to go,
Jesus shows us.

Will we look?

Jesus asks us to turn to him,
Jesus asks us to learn from him,
Jesus asks us.

Will we answer?

Jesus, I will follow you.
Jesus, I will look to you.
Jesus, I say “yes” to you.


We promise


Jesus, you have promised so much for us.

Today we make our promises to you.

We promise to try and love you more.
We promise to watch out for those around us.
We promise to talk to you.
We promise to tell others about you.

May our lives be a gift of love to you each day.
May we live to please you and bring you joy.
May our lives make you real to those around us.

Jesus, we make our promises to you.
