Jesus, if God had not
been on your side,
the flood would have
swept you away;
the torrent would
have gone over you.
But deliverance belongs
to God,
and God freed you
from death;
it was impossible for
you to
be held in death's
power.
Come, Lord Jesus,
take us to yourself,
so that where you
are, we may be also.

If

…then
the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us…
the torrent would have gone over us…

I with the voice of thanksgiving
