Easter Saturday – The Day Between
“Jesus Christ is risen today” is not an Easter hymn;
“Today ” – it means times such as this, the space we're living in;
It’s resurrection time for us – twixt past and future days
When all this mess resolves itself, and walk in Jesus pays.We live on “resurrection ground” baptized into His death;
Response is not to foolish life so long as we have breath;
We're buried with Him in the pond, arise on other side
And it leave behind our former lives – not where we now reside.There's lots of mess still needs be turned to better way to live;
There's lots of things we've gathered up we've still to others give;
There's lots of life that we might share with others on our way,
Until we come at last up to our last departure day.I get confused and lose my way, can't tell which way's up;
I wish I could move on from here, drink deep from heaven's cup;
This world is such a mess right now, I hunch it will get worse
Before we see Your Kingdom, Lord, and see this all reversed.With Easter day in two more days, "tomorrow" You were dead –
You died that we might live, my Lord, and we might move ahead;
So why am I still stuck right now, without a pathway clear;
I long to be en route once more, and feel Your presence near.Please open up my heart, O Lord – and ears, and eyes, and hands,
That I might see and do Your will, perhaps then understand
Just what you have in mind for us as we pursue Your way,
And see the end of all this mess – full resurrection day.navigation
