The Path, continued

The Path, continued--

The Morn

Death is not the End!
Life springs forth
From behind the rock

Dawn has cracked
The darkness of the tomb
Sun shines bright
As the Son rises

Morning Robin
Sings her song
On Resurrection Morn

The horrible, torturous Cross
Now blooms
With flowers and New Life

Once symbol of
Caesar's cruel rule
Now, symbol
Of King Jesus' eternal reign

Temporal power,
Curse of death,
Sin's horrible offspring
Now lie in the
Rags of Jesus'
Burial clothes-
Left Behind

With Jesus, we rise
From the ashes of sin and death
To Redemption's Sunny Morn!
