Glorious Resurrection by: Frances M. McCrory-Meservy 15 Apr 2017
Salvation has come
Our savior is off the cross.
His Mother is distraught
As they lower him at last.
A rich man offers a tomb
He is laid to rest
Tended by women
Who prepare his body.
As the Sabbath approaches
They lay a cloth over him
The solders roll a bolder
To cover the entrance.
Night falls
As the Sabbath begins
At rest is the world
As the Sabbath ends
Solders stand guard
In the dark, lonely night
They don’t know what awaits
At dawn’s early light
Angels appear
Causing the solders to sleep
They roll the bolder away
The power of God begins
In the tomb a light flashes
The cloth is burned
Our savior awakes
The resurrection has come.
In power death is defeated
Jesus stands
Walks out of the tomb
Fear of death is no more.
