For Holy Week

Holy Saturday

The Reverend John Bradley 

How can we live when the Son of God is dead?
How can he reign, crown of thorns upon his head?
Then in Upper Room; Now in borrowed tomb!
Dark Calvary, where in agony he bled.

Yet it was he who gave us life; Our hope reborn through bitter strife.
He even prayed forgiveness for those guilty of condemning to agony their Saviour.

What can we sing after poetry has died?
Our heads hang down; all solutions have been tried.
He had given us hope; Now, how can we cope?
Is there a dawning when death will be defied?
