So this year for Easter Sun rise service all of the Undergraduate Interns shared a poem. Here is my poem:
Easter Morning
Today is a new day
But not just a new day
This is the day that the Lord has Made
Because of today All creation is new
Because of today I am new
Renewed in faith
A resurrection has occurred
A resurrection of the Almighty
A resurrection within me
I inhale New life
And exhale the old
The old full of pain and mistakes
I am free of the old
Because my God defeated death
I am alive because my God is alive
What a love that envelopes me
What a love that has the power to set me free
I am a new creation
Like a new born rabbit blinking into a rising sun
or a flower budding breaking through the resisting soil; rising up
I am risen this day
This my new life, given to me
By the power of the one who made me whole,
who made me new,
who made me
As the dawn is broken, my sorrow is too
And Joy comes with the morning
Joy comes with This Morning
Amen.
