I am so excited to share this new Easter song with you all. It’s based on a poem that originally appeared at A Life Overseas about five years ago. It is my hope that it might be a deep encouragement to you, wherever you are, on this Holy Saturday.

The End of All Things
By Caleb Paxton and Jonathan Trotter
Darkness and grief
Shadow and death
The hope that had been
Hangs low without breath
–
Weak and alone, absorbing our pain
The one who was Love endures for my gain
–
“Forgive them,” he prays,
“Jews, Romans, all”
Redeeming us there from our sin and the fall
–
“It’s finished!” he cries
“For my daughters and sons”
Death lay before him but the work it is done
–
Hallelujah! The kingdom has come
Death could not hold all the life of the Son
Hallelujah here and now at the end we’ve begun
–
Three quiet days come and go without Word
The King is nowhere and faith seems absurd
–
Behind the scenes now the love of God stirs
And the plan before time finds its time and occurs
–
The broken world groans
The stone starts to move
The Lamb that was slain
Roars out of the tomb!
–
Hallelujah! The kingdom has come
Death could not hold all the life of the Son
Hallelujah here and now at the end we’ve begun
–
Hallelujah! The kingdom has come
Life is before us, the victory is won
Hallelujah here and now at the end we’ve begun

Beautiful! Happy Resurrection Day Trotters!
