Poem by Ann Weems - And the Glory
The silence breaks into morning. That One Star lights the world. The lily springs to life and not even Solomon ...
Let it begin with singing and never end! Oh, angels, quit your lamenting!
Oh, pilgrims, upon your knees in tearful prayer, rise up and take your hearts and run!
We who were no people are named anew God's people,
for he who was no more is forevermore.

Easter Blessings,

Lisa
