Acts 4:32-37; Psalm 93:1-5; John 3:7-15

soaring
with the Holy Spirit
we see
from above
a wider vision
given
as a gift
that we give
to one another
in generosity
one mind
one heart
all needs
are fulfilled
as we hold
no claim
or possession
in our common life
in God
as love

Do you soar with the Holy Spirit?
Have you been given a wider vision?

Isaiah 7:10-14;8:10; Psalm 40:7-11; 2Hebrews 10:4-10; Luke 1:26-38

an angelic
appearance
a moment
of grace
a reassurance
of fearlessness
a promise
of thrones
and kingdoms
entices
a young girl
to believe
and carry
a child
of the Holy Spirit
to a waiting world
with a message
of God with us
and love
as God’s will
and justice
leaving
sacrifice
and sin-offering
behind

What is it to be full of grace?
What is it to know and do God’s will?

Acts 5:12-16; Psalm 118:2-4 13-15, 22-24; Rev. 1:9-13, 17-19; John 20: 19-31

do not persist
in unbelief
touch
and see
His wound
and rejoice
in the signs
and wonders
the healing power
breathed
in spirit
to us
with Him
risen
we have
new life from
He who holds
the key
to death
first and last
the one who lives
how wonderful it is
in our eyes
we were hard pressed
and fallen
yet in Him
we are raised up
in mercy
He has become
our strength
and courage
as we live the mercy
we have been given
we give thanks
for His goodness

Do we breathe the spirit of the risen Christ?
Do we live the spirit of the risen Christ?
Are we blessed to believe even though we have not seen?

Acts 4:1-12; Psalm 118:1-2 and 4, 22-17; John 21:1-14

guiding us
to abundant
life
with unbounded
mercy
even as some
are disturbed
by His goodness
we recognize Him
in the bread
that is broken
that nourishes
our soul

Where do you recognize Him?

Acts 3:11-26; Psalm 8:2,5-9; Luke 24:25-48

opening
our minds
we see Him
alive
among us
beyond
His wounds
and death
fulfilling
a promised word
from God
that we dare
to believe
as we share
His bread
with one another
nourished
on the joy
of God’s presence
we receive
and give
the blessings
of the day

Has He opened your mind?

Acts 3:1-10; Psalm 105:1-9; Luke 24:13-35

our hearts
are burning
and rejoicing
as we recognize
God among us
sharing
wisdom
life
and bread
that we
may not feel
abandoned
in a world
that often breeds
fear
He is
our beautiful gate
where we return
to health
and strength
faith
and love

Where is your beautiful gate?

Acts 2:36-41; Psalm 33:4-5,18-19,20-22; John 20:11-18

His words
come
through death
seeking
our soul
that hears
Truth
saving us
from
a corrupt
generation
transforming us
through the kindness
of the Lord
that fills
the earth
for those
who can see

Do you see God’s kindness?

Acts 2:14:22-33; Psalm 16:1-2,5-11; Matthew 28:8-15

beyond
our understanding
He lives
risen
from any bondage
of sin
and death
living
among us
His Presence
Holy Spirit
showing us
the path of Life
we leave
our fears
and live
in the hope
and joy
of this
Easter moment

Do you live in the joy of this Easter moment?

you are the one
He loved
at empty tomb
shroud fallen
your heart
awakened
by belief
for love
has risen
beyond this time
beyond this place
stone rolled away
his freedom
soars
from boundaries
and
we begin
anew
love reborn
into eternal
moments
He is known
He is seen
everywhere
each heart
His own
His heart
our own
the empty tomb
answers all
for what God
has given
cannot be put
to death
you are the one
he loves
and death is
no more

Gen : 1-1.1;Gen 1. 1-18;Exod 14.15-15.1; Isa 54 5-13;Isa 55.1-11;Ba3:9-15
Ba 3.32-4.4; Ezek 36.16-28; Romans 6: 3-11; Luke 24. 1-12

in our sorrow
we come to remember
who we are
made in goodness
made for goodness
we remember
the voice of God
whose desire is mercy
not sacrifice
who would save a son
and part the seas
whose enduring love
quenches
our desert thirst
from wisdom’s fountain
we remember
we are made
from eternal life
and light
entering
the darkness of His death
we arise anew
as sea of death
is parted
new heart
new spirit
we no longer seek
the living
among the dead
we live
as the one He loved

Do you remember who you are?
Have you risen with His love?
