Christ is Risen

Christ is risen

Today I release

All Inner thoughts

That would steal my peace

I place all trauma in  

Jesus’ capable hands

And ask that He take it all away

As only He can

Christ is Risen

I choose to forgive all sin 

that the enemy might use 

to do me in

Sins others have done to me

Seemingly without care

But also my own sin       

God makes no longer there

Christ has Risen

My own hopes rise as well 

Not tethered by circumstances

But by The Truths

That God tells 

I rise with God’s Promises 

May my every day

Big or small

Reflect His love

To one and all
