Easter’s Exchange
G S Jones

What a difference
Everything new
Eternity begun
When it was through.

A darkened sun
A brilliant dawn
Groans of agony
A brand new song.

Precious bruises
A million wounds healed
The Creator humbled
A soldier kneeled.

A crowed jeered
A mother wept
A friend betrayed
A promise kept.

A broken body
And one made whole
A broken seal
And a mended soul.

A sleepless night
No answer to give
A cold stone tomb
A reason to live.

The earth cracked open
The Holies revealed
The stone rolled away
Salvation sealed.

An old cross
A new day
An awful loss
An infinite gain.
