Grace Stretched Across the Sky

– photo by Reg Guest

A rainbow stretches wide across the purple, rain-drenched sky

It’s many blended hues forming an archway to new life,

God fulfills His promises throughout eternity

A God of second chances,

Grace stretched across the sky.

His aching arms strain wide across a darkened, sun-stripped sky

While pierced brow bends to his chest and blood pours from his side,

It trickles down the burdened cross and soaks into the ground,

Rejuvenating earths lost souls

Grace stretched across the sky.

As daybreak slowly steals across an Easter morning sky

It’s soft and shining light reveals an open, empty tomb,

And standing tall in morning mist on distant blood soaked hill,

A silhouetted, naked cross

Grace stretched across the sky.

The risen Son, poured out as wine, arms stretched up to the sky

His friends all closely gathered near as He begins to rise,

Fulfilling all His promises throughout eternity

The clouds reach out to gather Him,

Grace stretched across the sky.

A rainbow stretches wide across the purple rain-drenched sky….
