Resurrection Sunday

The Sabbath dawn broke

in a myriad of riotous colours.

New songs sprung from the earth

as an angel of heaven descended

and rolled away the stone.

The mighty power of God

Creator of the universe

pierced through the darkness,

and called forth His son.

The feet that had walked on water

walked out of the open grave.

The women searched for him,

but he was gone,

broken free

from the chains of darkness and death,

risen into the gloriousness

of mortal putting on immortal.

Mary Magdalen met the risen Jesus

and for one amazing period of time

was the first Christian in the world.

The one who had truly met the Lord of forgiveness,

and worshipped at His feet.

Then she ran

and told the others.

He is alive.
