Ruptured Soils
by R.E. Slater
As cold, dark earth must yield,
to warmth and new life,
Even so does Jesus' Resurrection rupture,
the broken soils of darkened hearts.
In whom death has been defeated,
darkness disspelt, and
New life in God's love made alive,
birthing beauty from old.
Jesus' death and resurrection,
celebrates all who we are,
Embracing darkness and death,
before arising, breaking forth.
Bursting the tired bonds of earth's
unyielding fellowships,
In resurrecting power from death
to life, by God's renewing Spirit.
We, who are the healed, the delivered,
from the cold soils of bondage,
Who must shout, who must rejoice,
"Jesus is Risen!"
Washed in Holy Spirit power,
raised from creation's cradle,
In whom all our yesterdays, todays, and
forevers, rise before Calvary's Cross.
