Someone requested a not substitutionary atonement version of this hymn so I wrote some lyrics.
Jesus Christ is Risen today, Alleluia; Our Amazing holy day, Alleluia
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia, Teach and Love and Heal our loss, Alleluia
Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia; Unto Christ, our Heavenly Kin, Alleluia
Who washed and served us til the end, Alleluia; Teacher, Savior and our Friend, Alleluia
But no one does God disclude Alleluia; for Christ’s love was the prelude, Alleluia
Can you feel God’s love break through? Alleluia; It includes both me and you, Alleluia
Sing we to our God above, Alleluia, Praise eternal as God’s love Alleluia
Praise our God, ye heavenly host, Alleluia; Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Alleluia
Feel free to use/adapt with credit to Pastor Katy Stenta

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
