With a voice like thunder – some days gentle blessings on others, as my heart prays from the old, old story – His cross led to lasting glory no one on earth would have expected the beautiful love His grace perfected as He died and was buried, His lifeless body was carried away, destined for the lonely grave who could have known this loss would save? With a voice like a river – some days flowing quietly, in the stillness, I praise the One who wrote this love story my heart and soul are bound for glory where I’ll meet the One who died the One who knew all about my pride and, yet – He left this world a place where His death would stir sweet grace and I’d know what it is to doubt but, soon all I will be able to do is shout! With a voice like rain – some days through the shadows, I see the Son’s rays there He is, alive – because He survived the test of death and hell, His love revived so I can know that God is always with me offering hope and faith – I’m completely free because of what He gave, His life, His love forgiveness for my sins, sent from God above What I wouldn’t give to be able to show you the beauty of this love that made me brand new. With a voice like salvation – some days I lift my arms to the heavens, just to praise He knows me better than I can possibly explain the grace that He offers will forever remain the reason that I know what it is to truly hope that my faith will sustain so that I can always cope, that His love will bring me through the worst, and even when I feel like my whole life is cursed I know someone, the only ONE who can save I’m so thankful for that cross where He gave everything, so that one day – I can see His face and know that love has made a way, through grace I have all that I’ll ever need, all the love and peace I know God is alive and His love will never cease! With a voice like belief – some days I keep reaching up to praise… Praise the One who loved more Loved so much our sins He bore So that love would win and our lives could truly begin Oh, this light – Just let Him in so you can feel His spirit within, so you can know the meaning of life a love that will heal all your strife this is the love that makes it all worthwhile, because He is love, my heart He will reconcile. With a voice like light – some days love assures me that I feel the Son’s rays and the answer to everything I fear is that His love will silence each tear He will always love me – His love is sincere!

Dearest Regina, Congratulations on placing in my poetry contest. I thought how your words radiate the heart of resurrection hope, moving from the sorrow of the cross to the unending assurance of Christ’s love and victory. “He is risen.” Your words capture the awe and gratitude that define the Christian faith. The resurrection of Jesus is not just a symbol, but the very foundation of our hope, and it proves that death has been defeated, that forgiveness and new life are real. I love how the voice you describe- thunder, river, rain, salvation, belief, and light- reflects the many ways God’s love reaches us. Even in doubt or darkness, the resurrection assures us that Christ’s love is stronger than any fear or failure, and that His grace is the answer to every tear. Your poem is a living witness to the truth that, because He lives, we have all we’ll ever need-hope, love, and the promise that His light will never fade. – Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
