Confession and Forgiveness Song for Lent – “Promises, Promises,” Justin Kosec and Gene LeVasseur You spoke the fi rst word, gave creation a name; carved water from sky and gave heartbeat a frame.

You spoke with the promises; all became true. A word and a promise were the same to you.

One thing we can promise is that we will die. But your power has made death into a lie. You spoke with a promise and old became new. New life and a promise are the same to you. Our promises remain mere hopeful decrees; our faith is the day between promise and deed.

You still speak the promise; we see it come true. A word and a promise are the same to you. Prayer of the Day
