Miracle! Mystery!
What was paralyzed in me dances!
What was ashamed in me rejoices!
You who are grace itself,
from the chaos of No
you speak your clear Yes.
Under the weight of impossibility,
despite all our explanations,
you rise.
In the thickest un-creation,
in the deepest darkness
you command light.
In failure and emptiness,
in utter rot and decay,
you thrive.
How do you
turn dying into living,
melt evil into mercy?
By your grace
the grave empties itself
into you.
Christ is risen
hand in hand with me
and I am hauled into your glory.
Alleluia!
