Resurrection Morn by Dave Evans

Early in the morning they came,

only to find an empty tomb-- a crucified Lord, His body buried;

yet now missing--

a risen Savior, triumphant over sin and death

Early in the morning,

with daylight imminent,

I gaze at nearby hill and softly sing

“The Old Rugged Cross”

and remember His death, His burial

and glorious resurrection.

“Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb…” (Luke 24:1 NKJV)

“Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” (Luke 24:3 NKJV)”He is not here, but is risen!” (Luke 24:6a NKJV)

Dave Evans recently retired from his career as an estimator for an electrical contractor, but still works part-time. He recently served as Body Care Pastor for a small church and previously taught at a local Bible College for several years. God led him to found and serve in several outreach ministries—a pet therapy ministry, visiting several skilled nursing facilities and retirement homes: a prayer booth on a local street corner to allow people in the community to stop by for prayer needs and an evangelism table, typically set up once a month at various malls or stores, which made Bibles, tracts, DVDs, and other Christian materials available free of charge to interested shoppers. Dave has a bachelor’s degree in business administration/management. As a writer, he has had many poems and articles published in various periodicals and books. And he’s been privileged to do volunteer work for a local police department.
