Because Of Him

It was unthinkable, impossible, unfathomable, unprecedented
A single act, that changed history, possibility, destiny

He was a carpenter, a teacher, an outcast, a leader
Yet he did
What no carpenter, teacher, outcast, leader had ever done

Like all who preceded him
He lived and he died
But unlike all who preceded him  
He rose from the dead
He lived again
He lives
And because he lives
You, you, and she and he and they and we
All will live again

Because of him
Death has no sting
The grave no victory
We can start again
And again

Because of him
Guilt becomes peace
Regret becomes relief
Despair becomes hope

Because of him
We have second chances, clean slates, new beginnings
There’s no such thing as the end

Because of Him
