Paradise Becomes Itself

The stone that sealed His tomb is rolled away,
And He steps forth to open Eden’s gate
Unlocked by Cross of Him who is the way
To Paradise where Tree of Life awaits.

We stand at foot of Cross where Mary stood
Beneath new Tree of Life where Jesus died;
With Mary’s nature, gives His Body, Blood—
The fruit of life comes from the Crucified.

His Father has a Wedding Feast for Son
And Church, His Bride, in heaven and on earth–
A celebration feast has now begun–
Forever lasts to celebrate new birth.

When stone is rolled away, the dawn has come,
And Paradise has now itself become!
