Slowly the light unfolding
Softly the dawn approaching
Anxious frightened souls
Seeking hope, seeking hope

Stumbling through sad desolation
Wondering with frightened confusion
Towards a dark gaping tomb
A buried hope

Gently, an awareness of a loving presence
His words, Do not be afraid
His message, Peace be with you
Rabbi! Remember, it is the Lord

At the tempest and the storm
In the kindnesses that keep us warm
Even through the pains and betrayals
Of life's crucifixion

Rejoice, dear souls
For peace, it is the Lord
Soothe, it is the Lord
It is the Lord, now and forever
Amen
