Tune: Lux Eoi
('Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise')
*******
Alleluia! God of heaven
You to us your Son have given
We recall again, Easter-tide
On the cross He suffered, died
But that not the end, for He sure
On third day rose evermore
Thus to live, ne'er to die again
And be Saviour of all men (mankind)
Can we believe, can we trust this?
It shall bring us lasting bliss
And to share, to evangelise
That Christ open inward eyes
Eyes of hearts, give understanding
Knowledge, light, and faith us bring
Simply trusting, loving, showing
Others Christ is Lord and King
Awesome earthquake, resurrection
Women at tomb did find then
Angel sitting in the tomb there
And glad tidings he did bear
For he said, Christ, He is not here
Go to Galilee, not fear
For there you shall see Him risen
Hope, joy, peace unto all men (mankind)
For the sting of death He removed
Victor over it He proved
Bore our sins and our transgressions
We become His daughters, sons
Freed, forgiven, if repentant
Jesus He from God was sent
Alleluia! God of heaven
You to us your Son have sent

Death has no sting, the body may go but the Spirit within us goes on for eternity.
Thanks God. Yes, wasp sting is nasty. Not that I've been stung for years, thankfully.
At this point I'm sure you know that I'm not religious in any way, Orch. But I really do enjoy reading this stuff. It's inspiring.
Thanks Nicholas. Some just wish to comment on the style, form, etc of the poems. A bit of evangelising in the background? heehee. But it can't be forced on people.
It's a lot more than the form, or the style. It's the dedication my good sir.
I try..... lol. But that's partly the point - not doing it in me own strength. Though it's me that's writing the poems, and not in any spooky trance or anything like that!
What do you mean not in your own strength?
Erm, well I mean, somehow I don\'t write these poems (the hymn-poem type of poems) by myself, but with inspiration. God's Spirit guiding me, I mean, working through my mind and thoughts, I would say.
In your eyes that should be labeled a God-given gift. A personal triumph I would say. You're worth more than you believe, sir.
Well, yes, I'm thankful then for this God-given gift. Yet I can't have the 'glory' in saying that I thought all these up by myself. I want it to be for God's glory. He can have the glory without it becoming pride, boasting, etc. Though we, and I, can feel good and welcome appreciative comments that are made.
I'm glad you can accept the appreciation my good man. But all of a sudden, there's a plot hole. If I'm giving you all the glory, then that means you have to accept it right? Hah! Pulled a fast one on you too. Lawless is gonna kill me.
But in all seriousness, I see it as a man's talent. Your talent, dedication; Your spirit and everything else. I can't dismiss you from not taking full credit, but as long as you accept some I will be at ease.
If you don't mind me butting in I echo all that Nicholas says - you are an inspiration Orchi.
Cooeee good to see ya there M! Oh well, I won't brag about it, or I shall have to eat humble pie. And how does one make such a pie?!
Can't make it until Autumn - humbles are out of season at the moment.
