Joanna Daniel Poet Monchielle Stanza

Death Defeating Death

See, the tomb is empty,
      Lord Jesus is alive,
Defeating darkness, death,
      He has risen again ~
We breathe eternal breath;

See, the tomb is empty,
     Christ has resurrected,
In Him, hope is renewed,
     We have forever life ~
Through death, death He subdued;

See the tomb is empty,
     Messiah magnified,
Seated on God’s right hand,
    Evermore in heaven ~
We’ll see him on that strand.

Valsa George April 21, 2022 at 10:11 PM "Through death, death He subdued"; Yes, through death, He has defeated death ! What a pleasant paradox ! Let us rejoice, for He has given us eternal life ! A sweet Easter poem---- Jo
