A Prayer for Easter

Prayer For The Easter Season

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Our days of atonement have passed,
The great sacrifice has been given.

Weeping has turned into rejoicing;
Even the birds of the air break forth into song

Seeds nurtured in the dark
Have grown upward, gloriously.

Hope bursts forth
like flowers from the frozen ground.

The potential of abundant life
Blossoms like visions of peace.

Mercy and justice
Seem possible prayers.

You enter our hearts, and
You Easter in us, O Lord.

Renewed through Resurrection,
You grace our going forth.

We live again in joy
And sing in solidarity.

Alleluia,
Alleluia!
