HAPPY EASTER!!!

this was part of our maunday thursday service at glenshaw.....

Quiet Meditation

How shallow former shadows seem beside this great reverse, as darkness swallows up the light of all the universe.  Creation shivers at the shock, the temple rends its veil.  A pallid stillness stifles time and nature's motions fail.  This is no fantasy, no flight of fervered brain.  With vengence grim, and real, chaos is come again.  The hands that formed us from the soil are nailed upon the cross.  The word that gave us life and breath expires in utter loss.  Yet deep within this darkness lives a LOVE so fierce and free, that arcs all voids and risk supreme! embraces agony.  Its perfect testament is etched in iron, blood and wood.  With awe we glimpse its true import and dare to call it good.
- arranged by Lee Dengler


Christ has died,
Christ is risen,
Christ will come again!
