Beckons white Easter Lily
pure and undamaged by life
something I can never be
I am shadowed beyond the light
*
Future seeks to make me clean
hands that were nail driven
into my heart has seen
not judged I’m forgiven
*
from sin’s wrongs righted
my savior the lamb
and I unblighted
like the lily I am
*
to dance free in life
swing into the wind
with birds take joy in flight
as the willow I bend
Today is Easter a day to be reminded that we are bought with a precious price – that of the life of Jesus. The Son of God takes our sin upon himself that we might be free. In a world so fraught with fear, anger, even terror, it is nice to have this lamb to burrow into his wooly coat of peace and protection.
May you know the freedom of forgiveness this day – Happy Easter!
