Darkness tries to extinguish Easter light.
Guns blaze, bombs flash,
using light to bring death
on Resurrection Day
Hate spits its fire into the Easter dawn;
Hellfire, to burn down pillars of hope;
To bring nation-building crashing down,
To smother hope in the smoke of destruction.
But…..
hope cannot die
hope will not die
light cannot be extinguished
light will not be extinguished
Hate, hellfire, destruction, death – all are broken!
This is the victory of Easter
This is the power of Easter
Hold the line.
