Ovi Poetry Challenge: Release

The grave is empty. Risen King,
the One Who saves, to Him we sing.
There isn’t a more joyful thing
than walking where He leads.

Ronovan Hester offers the inspiration “release” for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. The grave could not hold Him captive. Also posted on Poet’s Corner.

Matthew 28:2-7 KJV – 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
