A wonderful friend sent me this precious poem that he wrote on Good Friday for Easter. I hope your holiday will be blessed with peace, love, and joy.
“This Easter Morning”
by Mike Hall
There is power in the silence
power in the heads bowed, quiet contemplation
of all You did for us
There is beauty in the silence
beauty in the quiet recognition
that our lives mean nothing apart from You
There is love in the silence
love that binds us together and forgives
our failings when we drift away from You
There is peace in the silence
peace that we long for when this spinning world
gets the best of us and we come humbly back to You
There is joy in the silence
joy in every breath when we try to comprehend
the miracle of Your life and the meaning of Your death
There is hope in the silence
hope that the rising of Sunday
will one day be ours
There is power in the silence
power, beauty and love
peace, joy, hope and forgiveness this Easter morning
