Wood and Stone

A poem, psalm, for Easter

A wooden cross standing beside a rocky entrance to a cave, with a large stone rolled to the side and a warm glow emanating from inside the cave during sunset.
You came in the flesh
A spirit become man

To the world you created
That rejected you

The world worshipped gods
Made of wood and stone

You came to show your infinite might
A power of patient love

You could have remained God
But you became man

They spilled your blood
And broke your bone

They tried to kill you on a cross of wood
To hide you in a tomb of stone

On Good Friday you defeated the wood
On Easter you conquered the stone

Your victory is ours
Our souls are free

Our lives will worship you
In spirit and in truth

Knowing you became blood and bone
To defeat the wood and stone
