Hope in God - 3

Though bright sun outside
a remembering of that darkness
that first Saturday dawning
after the pain of Friday

The emptiness, the joining
the shared sense of grieving
Christ’s body in the tomb
his spirit descending

Hope in God
his caring, deliverance
victory in the darkest times
for we are his people

Hope for a miracle
the promise to be fulfilled
Victory in Jesus
the one righteous stone
