In His Grip

History
is full
of gurus
who gathered
followers
and set out
to change
the world.
Their graves
have become
shrines
for devotion
and worship.
Passionate
devotees
still
impact
our world.

There is
just one
who said,
"On the third day
I will rise again!"
His grave
was empty -
his word
is true!

When fear
gnaws
or doubt
invades,
I know
his word
is true,
he holds me
in his grip.
