The winter no longer
Cold and blistery
As new growth of spring
Fills us with mystery.

The event of Easter    
Took us from despair,
To hope as the tomb
Was suddenly bare.

Reminding us now
Of God’s love
That fills us with joy,
From up above.

As the Lord’s Spirit 
Resides internal,
Guiding along 
To life eternal. 

Stepping ahead 
Into a wonderful mystery 
Uplifted because of
Easter victory.
