An Easter Prayer by Ted Loder.

Lord of such amazing surprises as put a catch in my breath an wings on my heart,

I praise you for this joy, too great for words, but not for tears and songs and sharing;

for this mercy that blots out my betrayals and bids me begin again, to limp on,

to hop-skip-and-jump on, to mend what is broken in and round me, and to forgive the breakers....
