Used with permission |
It happens every Christmas, Lord
but please don't let it happen
at Easter, too!
By the day after Christmas
the merry is fading,
the joy receding,
the generous giving all done...
Let the joy of Easter
thrive near as long
as the lilies trumpet
your rising to life...
Let Friday's passion
warm my soul
with desire, the fire
of your Spirit's power...
Wrap Thursday's towel
around my heart,
a reminder to serve you
in all whom I meet...
Let the lessons of Lent
and my growth in faith
still shape how I live,
how I pray, how I give...
Let the joy of Easter
thrive near as long
as the lilies trumpet
your rising to life...
Amen!
