I am the resurrection,
I am the life,
Sing Gods praises.
I am the truth
Live your real story.
I am the way
Live the joy.
Forget the tomb,
It comes on its own
and way too soon.
Celebrate light.
Practice hospitality,
Fight injustice,
The Kin-dom is near.
Forget your fear,
Say yes to love when it knocks,
Carry your cross
Don’t pick up stones.
Untie the knots inside your soul for
the kingdom you seek grows within.
Cast a wide net
Play your part
Walk in light
Make of life beautiful works of art.
No one is perfect
No one wholly good,
Stay brave and grateful.
Jesus, fully human, our great I am — the true man’s flesh we share by grace — the mystery of life.
He never confused life with absence of pain,
Lived like us, always giving, celebrated living, became our servant, always authentic.
I am will be who he will be.
Embrace suffering, it will pass,
Laugh with zest, savor the wine,
Learn from tests, greet the living
Without misgivings,
Forgive the living and all the dead.
Such a challenge!
Stay awake for the one who is
and always will be,
The great I am who lives in us eternally.
Let go fear,
Seek the good,
Practice hospitality,
Fight with hope and deep compassion,
From birth to death.
The gift of Gd’s kin-dom is found in
practice of resurrection,
Lived by faith,
Refined by us.
Your best I am,
It is enough.
Happy Easter!
