Because He emptied Himself of all but love,  . . you can be
filled.  

Because His body was broken, 
 . . your life can be whole.  
Because His blood was shed, 
 . . your sins can be forgiven.  

Because He submitted to injustice, 
 . . you can forgive.  

Because He finished His Father's work,
 . . your life has worth. 

Because He was forsaken, 
 . . you will never be alone.  

Because He was buried, 
 . . you can be raised.  

Because He lives, 
 . . you don't have to be afraid.  

Because He was raised,
 . . you can be strong.  

Because He reached down to you,  
 . . you don't have to work your way up to Him.  

Because His promises are always true, 
 . . you can have Hope!
