"Because You're risen I can rise
Because You're living I'm alive
Because Your cross is powerful
Because You rose invincible
I can get up off the floor
This is my resurrection day
Nothing's gonna hold me in the grave
This is my resurrection day
Nothing's gonna hold me down" - Resurrection Day
The poet Wendell Berry wrote : “Practice resurrection”. You may be saying to yourself right now that this seems like a really uplifting thought for a poem…but how do I actually do that in real life?
Every time you take something lifeless and broken and revive it, you are practicing resurrection.
Something as simple and ordinary as recycling your cardboard.
Coming alongside a couple whose marriage is on life support and speaking words of hope.
Sharing Jesus with a friend who doesn’t understand why, even though everything is fine on the surface, she just doesn’t feel alive.
We live out the message of resurrection: that dead things don’t have to stay that way and that even the bleakest of circumstances imaginable can be restored
You see, this is the very HEART of the good news message of Jesus— that dead, lifeless, broken things can be brought back to life and made GLORIOUS. This is what Easter is all about. This is why we sing
