Today we step into a place
That our hands haven’t made,
An everlasting holy space
Where Truth on altar laid.
For Jesus is God’s way and life
Found in His Body, Blood;
With Mary, knows His Cross brings light.
We stand where she has stood.
For Cross allows Him to be raised
And conquer death for us,
A beacon meant to our world save,
Breathe life into our dust.
For Spirit brings His Cross to each
To death submit with Him–
Brings us within His risen reach
And leaves in grave our sin.
His Spirit’s breath is heaven’s air
That we can breathe on earth,
And we can smell His garden fair
As earth knows its new birth.
