In ways I cannot always see,
I know God watches out for me––
His loving instinct to protect
expressed as I might not expect.

of the suffering
stored in my soul.

Easter means more to those who know
the echo of a voice unheard,
the sound of silence in the air,
the loss that leaves no parting word.

The Savior in Gethsemane
consumed our sins on bended knee,
took every sorrow, every loss
and broke them on the rough-hewn cross.
