Poems of Resurrection

One of the blessings of Easter that I have always been thankful for is the time of year in which we celebrate. I have always loved how Easter is also always a Springtime holiday. My mind cannot help but think of the Resurrection as I see green shoots poking out of the once-cold ground and the first flowers –daffodils, tulips and creeping phlox — blooming in the no-longer frigid air. God has a marvelous way of reminding of the His immense grace everywhere, especially in the midst of His glorious creation.

The poets, far greater wordsmiths than I, have also seen God’s resurrection life in this special time of year. One of my favorite Christian poets, Emily Verse, shares her poems for Spring Resurrection.

 

Renewal’s Light

In the gentle thaw of winter,

Grace unfolds in every splinter.

Life reborn from death’s long sleep,

Promises our souls to keep.

 

Flowers bloom, a sacred choir,

Singing praises, lifting higher.

Risen sun on Easter morn,

Hope reborn, in spring adorned.

 

Cross stands firm amidst the bloom,

Overcoming death and gloom.

Light breaks through the darkest night,

Guiding us with love’s pure light.

 

In each leaf, and bud, and stream,

God’s own handiwork is seen.

Spring’s renewal, clear and bright,

Fills our hearts with His light.

 

Resurrection Morn

Dew glistens on new life born,

Echoes of a resurrection morn.

Trees stretch limbs in silent praise,

Greeting the Son’s redeeming rays.

 

Flowers rise from winter’s tomb,

In colors bright, they burst and bloom.

A chorus of birds, on wing so light,

Carry His message through the flight.

Streams of mercy, fresh and clear,

Wash away the old, bring near

The promise of a love so vast,

In spring’s embrace, forever cast.

 

Upon this canvas, wide and still,

God paints His love, does His will.

Each petal, leaf, in light adorned,

Speaks of the hope in Easter born.
