EASTER DAY
With bated breath we wait for the sunrise,
Seeking the assurance that God's death could not really be.
In vain we watch the sky for the sun's glorious rays.
Instead a slowly growing light reveals the beauty of the world,
the sunshine of His presence among us.
We looked for a sudden glorious blaze of light, but God gave us a grey dawn.
To find Him in our humdrum world is even more glorious than to find Him
in the rising sun.
Surely we know that the sun has risen even when we cannot see it!
Surely we know that the Son has risen even when we cannot see Him!
Hallelujah - This is Easter Day!
