We are Easter people living in a Good Friday world [Barbara Johnson]

Darkness came over all the land and Jesus cried out in a loud voice "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”...  And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.  [Matthew 27:45, 46, 50, 51]

--------------------

the darkness endures
we too feel forsaken
as we are waiting
waiting waiting waiting
for Love to win

every step towards the kingdom
is hard fought and won
we are begging for mercy
waiting waiting waiting
for Love to win

mourning hearts crushed spirits
the cost of sin
leaves humanity broken
waiting waiting waiting
for Love to win

trying to bring light
grasping for hope
growing weary of waiting
waiting waiting waiting
for Love to win
