The Easter Lily
Symbols of The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Day 5
Artwork and Verse by Rev’d Paul Collings
Lord, as you blossomed like the Lily and provided dew to refresh the earth, so revive the garden of my heart that I may see the beauty of your rising and live for ever in your presence. Amen (Based upon Hosea 14:5 )
In the beauty of the lilies,
so the battle hymn relates,
That the risen Christ brings glory
Resurrected life to take.
How He died to make us holy,
That he lives to set us free
By this glorious Easter Morning
Renewing life, he intercedes.
As the pure white of the lily
Blooms, its grandeur here to share,
So may life in all its fulness
Its own beauty in us bear.
Lord, you say “My peace be with you,
Trouble not your weary hearts.
Remain here, keep on praying,
Wait ‘til Spirit’s power imparts.”
For the coming of your Spirit
Pentecostal fire, new start
For the words to speak, to utter
Through each other’s tongues impart.
Lord we ask now for your blessing
For your gift of power we ask
For a purity of living
Make us ready for the task.
