Empty Tomb


It is right
for us to stand
gazing into an empty tomb.
The stone has been rolled away
by earthquakes
and angels.

No longer are we subjected
to those who dictate the law,
grace
will anoint our foreheads,
the Spirit of God
is among us.

The oils and herbs
have never been needed.
He told us.
Yet we were blinded
by the world,
and still He chose us
to stand amazed
before the empty tomb.

It is right
that we should sing praises
of God's new covenant.
He has sent His son,
not Isaac or a prophet,
but one begotten
of His own being.

God from God,
light from light,
this is truth
and we have stood amazed
at the open tomb.
