Roll Away The Stone

The first open door of the Resurrection was the tomb. When that stone was rolled away our new life began with so much richness. At times I think I forget that the stone has been rolled away, however Christ never does and he generously reminds me of that each day.

Roll Away The Stone…

when my heart is not open,

when I am lost in my own world,

when I feel overwhelmed,

when sorrow tries to reign,

when anger bubbles up,

when I am tired,

when frustration robs me of vision,

when I judge,

when I get caught up in falseness,

when freedom seems crushed,

when my vision is blurred,

when I fear transformation,

when my light feels faint,

when I forget about the open door,

when I forget that I am loved and valued,

Roll Away The Stone.

Roll Away The Stone

that blocks my heart

so it may be pierced

by your Resurrection light,

the glory of your love,

your transforming love

and the power of new life.

Roll Away The Stone

so I may truly live

and radiate you

and your goodness

which fills my life.

Roll Away The Stone

so I may be open

to the work

of your Spirit in me.

You are my breath and life,

come and fill me,

for I know that you are Risen

and come each day to

Roll Away The Stone.
