The rising of our Lord

May the rising of our Christ, our savior, our Lord
may this reality, this joy
be for you a moment of grace
realized, believed, as if for the first time,
this day, this glorious morn’
entering into your heart more fully
transformed and transforming

A risen Christ,
present tense and powerful
a presence walking with you
waking this morning
Easter people arise!
He is risen!
He is risen indeed.
