Your Commandment Is Eternal Life--April 13, 2019

From you and through you and to you

are all things, O God.  To you be the glory.

Let us hear of your steadfast love in the morning,

for in you we put our trust.

Teach us the way we should go,

for to you we lift up our souls.

Write your law on our hearts;

be our God, and we will be

your people, for we know

that your commandment

is eternal life.
