Easter song

When will I learn that God's ways are unique?
Alternative even, genius definitely.
Jesus came to save us by dying on the cross_
Three days later, resurrection.  
Linen cloths neatly folded, left inside the tomb.
He wins the war over evil by bringing new life
without violence and machinations.
We, too, have new life when we die to self
and live as God wills: true, good and beautiful.
As He is, so are we. Beloved.
Destined for eternal life by making this one count
Every day filled with joy, nuanced with meaning,
brimming with goodness, seriously infectious.
So when chaos breaks and gloom descends
when there is no light at the end of the tunnel,
kneel and pray for inspiration
God’s ways will come to perfection,
If I listen, then let Him write the next note
That's the Easter song I want to sing 
With an alleluia, start to finish.
