Easter

Are you ready for Easter?

Not just passion and cross

But a world of suffering and loss

A world where forty nights of rain

Couldn’t wash away the pain

And forty years of walking on desert sand

couldn’t make us understand.

A world where a boy at the end of forty days

Slung a stone at a man.

And Ninevites didn’t end up dead after all.

Are you ready to walk with a man

In the desert where angels tread.

Are you ready to fly?

Are you ready to listen while he tells you why

Are you ready to pray.

But they’re putting a crown on his head

And the law has condemned

And his blood will be shed

Are you ready to see him arise

Are you ready this time?
