His body is no more
Yet He lives
He reigns
He died and
was buried
and when
the women came
bringing spices
He was gone
Absent
unaccounted for
Yet He lives
He reigns
Where
Who
Why
When
The questions
bounce off
each man
each woman
each child
beloved ones of Jesus
He
born
of God
and the virgin Mary -
betrothed to Joseph,
a carpenter
He
grew,
raised up
by His mother, Mary
and His stepfather, Joseph
in the grace of His Father God
to be
and
to do
the will of His Father
The Almighty God
who lives and reigns
in heaven and here on earth
He stepped out
when but a lad
pursuing the way
He must go.
At 30
His earthly ministry
begun
but the end
near
He died
Yet He lives
He reigns
"It is Finished"
He proclaims
Yet
It has only begun
Jesus came
Jesus left
Persecuted
charged with crimes
we alone are guilty of
Wept
overwhelming sorrow
for His Father -
separated from
and the many us (es)
clinging to
sin
not righteousness
Died
hung on a cross
gave up His life
for you and me
Undying Love
Unending Love
Buried
Three days lay
and He arose
He lives
He reigns
Jesus Christ our Savior
Forever
God sent His Son
Jesus
to be the way
and a helper
The Holy Spirit
to remind us
His way
of obedience and trust
and faith and love
and patience and kindness
and gentleness
should be our way too.
