Risen Hope

From Jeremiah 17:7-8:  “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the LordThey shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream.”

Coming to faith’s crossroads

Two unique trails offer choice

Trusting selves to wilderness

Or, following God’s voice

 

Like tree planted with grace

Waters nourish every root

Filling with life, staying green

Bearing always rich fruit

 

Sustained through steadfast trust

Even when darkness brings drought

Sustaining each righteous breath

Finding God’s faithful sprouts

 

Sunrise at Calvary

Resurrection’s risen hope

Witnessing His empty tomb

Grasping Christ’s promised rope

From 1 Corinthians 15:20-22:  “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.  For since death came through a human, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human, for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.”
