Our Risen Lord

Claim him this morning
this glorious Easter morn’.
Not merely the risen Christ,
Our Risen Lord, personal and for us
our brother, our shepherd, our savior.

Walking beside me, beside you
down from heaven, his spirit within us
Guiding our way,
our path in the world
Blessing us with his sacrifice
with his gift, of himself
washing us clean.

And on this morning, oh on this morning
rising, rising from the tomb
to bring joy in the morning
to bring us, each one of us
salvation, new life in paradise.

by which someone in Neuwied, Germany
came to my blog this morning.
