Easter people, rise,
rise up, from your knees
the savior lives, conquered death
the Messiah, the chosen one
rising from the grave
the empty tomb
the cloths
on the dirt
he has risen
Christ has risen
He is risen indeed
So must we, knowing
more of the story, the truths
than those first disciples did, we
know of the Emmaus Road, Pentecost
the saints and martyrs, the faithful through
the ages after that fateful, joyous morning, when
the tomb was empty, and our savior was risen from the dead
