People: Alive is the woman used, abused, and misused by a loved one, needing someone’s compassion and care. Alive is the man castrated by the pressures of society, needing divine power and prayer. Alive is the child searching for what can be, when everyone has told him or her what he or she would never be.
Leader: You are God, not of the dead, but of the living, for to you, all of them are alive.

Leader: You are God, not of the dead, but of the living, for to you, all of them are alive.
People: Yes, alive is the poor man struggling for health care. Alive is the hungry woman seeking a job paying a good fare. Alive is the youth who will not quit, the one fashioned to dream and taught to dare.
Leader: You are God, not of the dead, but of the living, for to you, all of them are alive.
All: We come this morning, feeling a little dead; even with little energy for journey ahead. But you are God, and in you, we are not dead. For to you, all of us are alive! Help us strive; ready us to thrive. Yes, we are alive!! In the name of Jesus, we are alive.
