HE IS RISEN

 by Glenda Reynolds

Women carrying spices

Bowed low before the angels

The Lord was not there.

Why look in a tomb

For the living among dead?

He’s come back to life!

Messiah would be

Betrayed, crucified, and then

The third day risen.

Peter ran there too

Seeing folded linen wraps

Only wonderings.

Journey to Emmaus

Two talk about Jesus’ death

Suddenly He’s there.

Then unrecognized

He quoted prophets’ writings

Telling of Himself.

Joining for dinner

Jesus blessed and broke the bread

Then He disappeared.

Their hearts strangely warm

Hearing scriptures on the road

Ran to tell others.

Disciples waiting

The Lord suddenly appeared

See His hands and feet.

The writings of Psalms

And Prophets must all come true

Then they understood.

Written that Messiah

Suffer, die, then rise third day

Salvation to nations.

Hands high, He blessed them

Rising into the sky and

Onward to heaven.

All filled with mighty joy

Worshipped and served the great God

Continued praising.
