Hope Incarnate Because...

We could not hope for better days

Or marvel at spring’s green-spun ways

Or sing in spite of sorrow’s tear

Or bear life’s care with heart of cheer

Or know beyond that which we see

Or love beyond mortality

Or forgive without grudge or strife

Or believe in more than this life

Or be set free from fear, guilt, dread

If Jesus had not risen from the dead

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.

1 Cor. 15:14

But now Christ has been raised from the dead...

1 Cor. 15:20
