Easter joy

Easter Day

Hallelujah!
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing God’s praise in the congregation of the faithful.
Psalm 149:1

Easter joy
is the joy that comes in the morning
after a night of weeping
and speaks to the deepest grief

Easter joy
is at first unrecognizable
and then speaks our name
and we are saved

Easter joy
unsettles the very foundations of the universe
and renews creation

Easter joy
commands us to go
compels us to proclaim
its breathtaking goodness
with every Alleluia!
