Easter Reflection 
Breaking through the powers of darkness
Bursting from the stifling tomb He slipped into the graveyard garden To smell the blossom air. Tell them, Mary, Jesus said, That I have journeyed far Into the darkest deeps I’ve been In nights without a star. Tell them, Mary, Jesus said, That fear will flee my light That though the ground will tremble And despair will stalk the earth I hold them firmly by the hand Through terror, to new birth. Tell them, Mary, Jesus said, The globe and all that’s made Is clasped to God’s great bosom They must not be afraid. For though they fall and die, He said And the black earth wrapped them tight They will know the warmth Of God’s healing hands In the early morning light. Tell them, Mary, Jesus said, Smelling the blossomed air Tell my people to rise with me To heal the earth’s despair.
