Resurrecting Jesus

Come on out, Jesus, come out of your tomb!
Throw off those grave-clothes we’ve wrapped around you!
Throw off the creeds by which we’ve bound you.
the robes with which we’ve clothed you,
the walls in which we’ve housed you,
the flags we’ve stretched across your casket.
Come out, Jesus! Come on out!
 
Roll away the stones, Jesus, roll those stones!
Roll away the stones by which we’ve secured your death,
the stones of our self-righteousness,
the stones of our orthodoxy,
the stones of our pious patriotism,
the stones of our pretending to be your defenders.
Roll away those stones, Jesus! roll them away!
 
Leap to Life, Jesus, leap to life!
Leap to the life of holy hilarity!
Leap to the life of jubilant justice!
Leap to the life of turning tables!
:Leap to the life of limitless love!
Leap the life of gosh-awesome grace!
