On this Resurrection Day
I lament.
I lament
The apathy in our hearts towards the pain
Of others.
The lack of trust in God
To make things better.
I lament
Oh I lament.
On this Resurrection Day
I lament
Our decision to keep quiet,
Our longing to keep ourself safe,
When others suffer around us…
I lament
Oh I lament.
On this Resurrection day
I lament
The sin within us
That doesn’t let us stand,
That doesn’t let us speak
The sin of coldness, the sin of deadness.
So I pray Lord
That on this Resurrection day
Resurrect in us
Our voice to speak,
Resurrect in us
Our ability to stand,
Resurrect in us
Truth, Love, Peace and Joy
That everyone around us
May truly believe
That you have indeed
Risen today
