“Rise. O Church, and lift your voices, Christ has conquered death and hell.

Sing as all the earth rejoices; 

Resurrection anthems swell.

Come and worship, Come and worship, 

Worship Christ the Risen King!”

Hallelujah! He is risen!

He is risen for those grieving the loss of their children who were on the S. Korean ferry boat. He is risen for those who lost loved ones were on the  flight 370 lost at sea. He  is risen for Oscar Pist0ris so full of regret. He is risen for those in the Ukraine. He is risen for President Obama and President Putin. He is risen for those suffering in North Kora, the Sudan and countless other places. He is risen for the Democrats and for the Republicans. He is Risen.! Hallelujah.

Let us rejoice as those who have hope!
