darkness stalks the land
chaos, confusion, sadness
hurting from the bombing
sudden, huge explosions
life not making sense
feeling a distance from
God
wanting answers,
direction
feeling loss somehow
but there is Easter
death is not the final
word
life is reborn, rising
with Jesus
we are set free by the
empty tomb
there is Easter, joy in
heaven
the Lamb seated upon the
throne
there is praise, songs in
heaven
the earth joins in that
song
we are confident yet
even the midst of such
evil
the darkness has not won
the victory is in Jesus
we will rise from the
ashes
the confusion, the sorrow
we will run on new legs
we will follow our Master
