My Journey to God

There Was a Stone

There was a Stone
Heavy, hard and cold
Immovable—
Or so was thought

Two tons of rock
Rolled back
“The one silent and
Infallible witness” to
Life after death
Jesus’ Resurrection—
The keystone
And our faith’s foundation

There was a Stone
But before there was a Stone
There was the Wood
Of the Cross
