The Ancient Chant

He is risen
He is risen indeed
these words burst
forth from deep within
enthusiastically
loudly
maybe too loudly
I proclaim
He is risen
He is risen indeed
I want to say it
again
and
again
and
again
Yes
I believe
I believe in the resurrection
of
Jesus
of
Nathan
I
bellow
out
these
words
weeping
tears
of
sadness
mingled
with
soothing
tears
of
hope
