resurrection's day -- a sonnet

Upon the dawn of Resurrection's day,
When darkness fled before the rising sun,
A tomb laid bare, where once the Savior lay,
The victory of life and love begun.

No stone could hold Him, nor the grave's embrace,
For death itself was conquered by His might.
In radiant glory, clothed in heavenly grace,
He emerged triumphant from the depths of night.

The world rejoiced, the heavens sang with praise,
As hope and joy flooded each waiting heart.
For in His rising, all our sins He did erase,
And promised that from Him we'd never part.

So let us lift our voices high and sing,
Of Christ the Lord, our Savior and our King.
