Easter
As Easter approaches Christ’s resurrection
Marks a change in direction
For faith now resides
In the reality that God never hides
As there is nowhere he has not been, even if seemingly unseen
He is and was ever here,
Do we dare?
Acknowledge his love encompasses all life, for his sacrifice cut like a knife
The divide between the sacred and the secular
The star
That shone in the East
Heralded a substantive release, for his gift of grace
Creates a space for us to be - free
Enveloped in a divine mystery
Transforming all of history
God is and was and ever shall be
Available for you and me
To know, and grow
Within a new domain
Where God’s reign
Overshadows our darkness and despair
All our crippling fear
For we have been empowered to begin
To recognise and counter sin
Within and without and cast out doubt
Living in God’s light, day and night
Resurrection means new life
Empowers us to overcome strife
In him we can and are
Ever beneath and blessed by the star
That shone to guide the wise men
And leads us on to the time when
Everything is made new, and crowned with joy it is no longer the chosen few
But all who may know
It is just so!
