Easter
Sunrise service
This Resurrection Sunday
A time for rejoicing
The sun crests the clouds
Symbolising Jesus Christ, shedding grave clothes
Night’s darkness and death are victoriously defeated
Creation joins in praise… birdsong mingles with mine
Swaying pine branches stretch their arms towards the heavens
Hallelujah! What a Saviour! He brings forgiveness and new life.

Looking out across the valley this morning, kookaburras, magpies and lorikeets joyfully chorused, as the sun rose and the full moon set. Returning home after the service, Keith Greeen’s Easter Song took me back to that first Easter morning.
Easter blessings, everyone.
