The Exsultet (My version)



The Exsultet (My version)

Sing! Rejoice O Israel, your Redeemer has ransomed your souls. Give praise to the King for his light guided you out of darkness . For you are a chosen generation and by his grace you have been given salvation .Exult your saviour O Mother Earth for his boundless love and eternal life weeded Heaven and Earth.

For the bondage of sin held you captive and the chains of death forced you to work under a yoke. Satan caused you all this pain but I ,the Lord has come to release you By my resurrection power you have been reborn by the Holy Spirit into God's family. Sin imprisoned you and locked you up, but I ,the key set you free. You are unworthy of my grace but my father loves you so those who serve him are his children .

Glory to God in the highest! Resound the heavens with his praises. For you were lost in the darkness of sin. You are my flock who were stolen from me .Remember , I care for you and that is why my father is willing to give eternal life.

But all he wanted me to write is:

Light shines from the cave as he rises . Illuminating the the world. Jesus has overcome!

Heaven resounds with joy. Zion's King returns! Praise he who enters the gates.

Alleluia to the King of kings who brings peace to all men. Praise him for his boundless love that is shown through his death.
