Hi, everyone! I’m excited to share this project I’ve been working on with my kind and talented friend Corrie Bradbury, who I met at ministry school. Below is an Easter-themed poem I wrote, along with a beautiful song Corrie’s been creating about the resurrection, springtime, and Jesus redeeming everything. We hope you enjoy. He is risen!

Today, He is Risen

I don’t know why
a seed must die
for a garden to spring.

I don’t know why
mourning is the mother
of redemption. 

But today, we will sing,
because our humble God
has freed us from winter’s teeth.

We will dance in the shadows,
because we are no longer bound
to ourselves, or the enemy.

Jesus died,
Jesus rose—
And, one day,
the whole world will gleam.

—Abbi Bodager
