The Alleluia Heart: Praising God’s Goodness
In their midst
Jesus speaks
Peace be with you!
These are such
comforting words
simple words
and yet
startling words…
How could this be?
Peace be
with you!
Your heart questions
Jesus responds
see me,
touch me,
know me,
I am flesh
I am bone
Peace
be
with
you!
They came to recognize
in breaking bread
the gift
before their eyes
once lost
always present.
Peace
be
with
you!
You have heard
and it was written
that Christ would suffer,
die and rise
within three days.
Peace be with you!
Your heart
has been touched
grace will fill you
with unending love
now, called forth
give praise
and witness
to the goodness of God.
