Daily Devotions

 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.
