Easter Readings

A prayer, poem, and benediction for Easter sunrise.

Out of the darkness
the grace of God rises like the sun
hope rises like the dawn.
Into all that is cold and shadowed in our lives
the Light and Love of God shines.
Come to us, and renew us, O God of life.

 “spring song”
the green of Jesus
is breaking the ground
and the sweet
smell of delicious Jesus
is opening the house and
the dance of Jesus music
has hold of the air and
the world is turning
in the body of Jesus and
the future is possible

Benediction
May Creator’s love ground you,
may Christ’s love rise to guide you like the sun,
may Spirit’s love be a constant presence 
within you and around you.
Christ is risen!
Amen
