MONDAY
behold my servant, whom i uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; i have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. he will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. he will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law
— Isaiah 42v1-4

the hills trembling throats sing hallelujah
like the flowers on the dogwood trees
blush with blame you took from me
oh how you wish to be with me

of your vine
will you take to the hands of thine
this heart of mine

and grace was in the tension
of everything we've lost
standing empty handed
shattered by the cross
all we have, all we had
was a promise like a thread
holding us, keeping us
oh from fraying at the edge
— Buried in the Grave by All Sons & Daughters
SUNDAY II
for as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. but each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. for he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. the last enemy to be destroyed is death
— 1 Corinthians 15v22-26
