EASTER
(Pg.1)

Easter is a special time, that joyful time of year
When winter is behind us, and warmer days are here
A time that calls for Easter eggs, for almost everyone
We’ve boiled them and colored them… and had a lot of fun

It was “church” on Easter Sunday, as everybody knows
And some of us were blessed… to have on brand new clothes
As kids we didn’t understand what Easter as about
Most of us (as children) didn’t feel like finding out

But now we are adults today… with children of our own
Some of them are little ones… and some completely grown
Let’s take a look at Easter now, and contemplate the facts
Considering a loving God… examining our tracks

What does Easter mean to us? How do we now relate?
Do we understand the truth… or do we still debate?
Think about the timing that our God has put to use
A time for binding to the grave… A time for being loosed

A time for things to come to life… A time for things to die
A worm that dies in his cocoon comes out a butterfly
A seed that we may plant today will one day be a tree
Just like it is in nature…it’s the same with you and me

By studying the scriptures we begin to understand
Why “Death and Resurrection”, are in the “Master’s” plan
It wasn’t just by accident that God would choose this season
For things to come to life again… He done this for a reason

What better time for Easter than to come in early Spring
When foliage begins to grow and birds begin to sing
Trees and plants are growing leaves, and grass is turning green
New life is all around us... Do you know what I mean??

Stop and take a look around, see that things are changing
See the sky…the sun, the earth, that God is rearranging
Rains will come revitalizing things that once were dead
To complete another cycle so that time can move ahead

We too have another cycle; we must die to self…
We have to take this flesh of ours… and put it on the shelf
Easter brings a message, that God wants us to know
If we really want a new life… we must let the old life GO

EASTER
(Pg.2)


Jesus let us know that we don’t have to fear the grave
That’s why we call Him “savior”… that’s why they call us “saved”
We’re saved from all the fears of what will happen when we die
We have the chance to live again… And He’s the reason why

We should be more than happy, with what our Lord has done
He rose up from the grave…giving HOPE to everyone
That’s what Easter is all about, our HOPE in Jesus Christ
To give us hope and faith and trust… he was our “sacrifice”

There is nothing wrong with new outfits, or a brand new Easter bonnet
There is nothing wrong with tables set with Easter baskets on it
Or with colored eggs and jelly beans and chocolate bunnies too
But let us not forget about…what Christ has done for you

He came out from that grave alive, just like the scriptures said
Resurrected!... Back to life!... To wake up what was dead
That faith in Him… That trust in Him… That HOPE we now can keep
He rose up from the dead for us to wake up from our sleep

Easter is a masterpiece of timing, love, and powers
God let us know that “Eternal Life” is absolutely ours
So let us welcome Easter as our faith in Jesus grows
Let us all remember what His resurrection shows

It shows we have the power to conquer life and death
So we can live in victory as long as we have breath
Let this day remind us of what our Lord has done
He has “EVIDENCED” OUR FUTURE… giving HOPE to everyone

All of us should be convinced… there’s nothing left to doubt
Giving thanks to Jesus is what Easter is about
And if you do not know him… your life is incomplete
But you do, please offer Him… to everyone you meet. Amen?

HAVE A HAPPE EASTER!!
