God's Risen Son
by
Norma Jean Duncan
IN the midst of our lowest despair
We should cast our eyes
Upon the sunflower
It reaches its head to the sun
It knows from where
It gets its strength.
Our drooping spirit can also fine
The strength it needs most
In God's own risen son
If we too will reach up our head
Toward the one
Who gives us strength.
As the sunflower knows to look up
You too can find strength
It's waiting there for you
Lift your head and you'll find your need
In God's risen son.
