Day 5 The I AM sayings of Jesus
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; John 11:25
Risen Lord, giver of life, I search this day for your living presence. Surprise me with the joy of knowing afresh power of your Easter Rising. May the stone be rolled away from my dark caves of my life and sepulchre of my heart fill with your radiance divine. Amen
The tomb was closed,
death’s lot now sealed
As their dear kinsman’s
Life ends his span.
‘Neath mourning hood.
What now, how could
Such tearful doubts
Refresh their drought.
Where, where was he
Where could he be
The one true light
Who’d put things right.
But now too late
No need to wait;
For death has spoken
Life is broken.
“Roll back the stone
Let truth be known.
Come forth, Come out
Come here stand stout.”
And there they found
Their Kinsman bound.
“Loose him, free him
Slack limb from limb.”
So there he’s stands
And free his hands
Defying death
With Ev’ry breath.
So truth is found
And Life is crowned
In Christ alone
Life, Life is known.
