I love this service - almost my favourite of the whole year.
This morning was cold and crisp, just the beginnings of dawn as we lit the new fire by the side of the church porch, and the blackbirds singing from every direction. As we left after renewing our Baptismal vows, the sun was coming up, deep coppery red behind the trees.
He is risen! He is risen indeed, alleluia!
I can't remember a time when that truth has been so tangible, so absolutely real, as this morning. Lord Jesus, it just isn't possible to find a way to thank you...
Lord, by your cross and resurrection, you have set us free. You are the Saviour of the World.
(PS: Chris has posted some excellent photos of this - and an embedded sound clip! - on our church website... enjoy!)
