Here’s a benediction (or possibly a call to worship) for Easter Sunday from Mike
Yager. It was posted on Ecclesia.
Easter
Benediction
In
the dark of the early morning,
It
descended.
The
very breath of God.
Dawn
approached.
The
Spirit filled the lungs of our fallen king,
And
his heart began to beat anew.
At
the rising of the sun,
He
awoke. He opened his eyes.
He
smiled. He rose.
Victorious.
They
say the tomb was empty,
But
we know otherwise.
Sorrow
and mourning. Left behind.
Fear
and shame. Left behind.
Sin
and death. Left behind.
Our
old ways and our old selves. Left behind.
Forever
entombed by Christ the Son.
He
who has conquered the grave.
He
who is risen.
He
who reigns.
Halleluiah.
