Here’s a
prayer reflection for the season of Easter from John Birch’s Faith and Worship website.
Prayer: Who Can Roll
Away the Stone?
Would we be
counted
among the doubters
hiding in the shadow
cast by that cruel cross?
among the doubters
hiding in the shadow
cast by that cruel cross?
Or, when
challenged,
like Peter
openly deny you?

openly deny you?
There are
times, Lord
when doubts assail
and the distance between us
seems to increase.

and the distance between us
seems to increase.
There are
times, Lord
when sin has its hold,
like a barrier between us
that will not move.
when sin has its hold,
like a barrier between us
that will not move.
Who is
there we can turn to
when we feel so overwhelmed?
Who can roll away the stone
and reveal the empty tomb?
when we feel so overwhelmed?
Who can roll away the stone
and reveal the empty tomb?
No-one but
you, Jesus,
no-one but you!
no-one but you!
