Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The twin themes for this week are Passover and Easter, which this year
are celebrated at the same time. The first night of Passover is the evening of
Good Friday, March 30, and Easter Sunday is April 1.
Today’s poem is an Easter poem about the power of faith to
move the heart.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Believe, believe in the power of
love
To save us all from
death and sin,
And God that way
your heart will move.
Christ came to
Earth to free us of
The state of
vengeance we were in.
Believe, believe in
the power of love
To change the heart
from snake to dove,
To make dust bloom
and goodness win,
And God that way
your heart will move.
Christ arose from
death to prove
That we a new life
could begin.
Believe, believe in
the power of love
To bring us to a
life above,
A life of glory
near to Him,
And God that way
your heart will move.
Christ will all our
sins remove
And make us feel
His joy within.
Believe, believe in
the power of love,
And God that way
your heart will move.
