(Before It's News)
Sticks and Stones
A tree is felled in a forest far away, creating sticks to beat
To strike Christ, his broken bones nailed to the Mercy Seat
Wintery sunshine reveals a coldness floating in this April air
Easter brings the warming tremble of hope that resides there
Christs words never hurt, a sweet melody, an eternal sound
Boldly they speak of where the resurrection can be found
Life is breaking forth from clinging stones, seeking freedom
Witnessing a vibrant Spring, with a promise of heaven to come.
