Poem based on The Resurrection of our Lord Mark 16:1-8

Whom do you seek

in this temple dark

amid the stone and cold dust?

The one who was laid here

is held no more

by the limits of our world and trust.

He is not in this place

once dark and filled with death

where he was laid

in love and care.

He is risen and lives

He is risen and gives

life

Life

believe him

Life

Shout from the tops of buildings

Tell all the world

The one who was

King of the Jews

Is King of life for us

Go tell the others

Shout for Joy

---and sing

Everything that was of this world

Has been changed to what has been

The Kingdom is here

Do not be amazed

New Life breaks in

It is here

It is now

The temple has been rebuilt

Christ is Risen

Christ is Risen indeed

Christ is Here
