HE IS RISEN, INDEED (a Stornello for Easter Sunday)


Though innocent, Jesus was still crucified.
Enormous, the evidence that He had died,
He lives, per the witnesses who testified.

But not just per witnesses back in the day -
I know Him and know that He hears when I pray.
I feel His strong presence along my pathway.

I knew Him before I became a schoolchild.
His unequaled love leaves me awed and beguiled.
All thanks be to Him we’re with God, reconciled.
