Not in his dying
however amazing
his choosing to go
to the cross for me
So much shame,
so much pain
he endured for me
bringing me humbly
falling to my knees
Joy in his rising
on the third day ascending
from the grave to the earth
to let us see his face
Rising in triumph
over sin and death
walking with us
until he ascended to heaven
Waiting, anticipation,
for our savior’s return
fulfilling his own promise
just as his life fulfilled scripture
knowing in my bones he will come again
