You've given, oh God, the
act of your rising
through Your Son
an eternal spring
from darkness and shame
into light and release -
all with your name.
By our acts we are all driven
down
forming for you a thorny
crown.
Through anxious winters of
life
you've sown
seeds for the spring,
Your faithfulness shown.
To save this world
it is not surprising
you'd show who you are
by the act of your rising.
