"He speaks and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive..." (Charles Wesley).
In sacrament and preaching,
In Bible and story of grace come to life,
In friend and family, neighbor and the needy,
In wind and sun, moon and mountain and stream,
In child and work, dog and horse and earthy smell,
God's love fills the earth as waters cover the sea,
Whispering, again and again and again,
"I am with you to raise you from death
And breathe into the nostrils of all
The life of which my Son
Is firstborn."
"Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven" (Charles Wesley).
