Famous Last Lines

Despair Erased (Poem entered in contest before) The cloudy day omens a dreary week As we count down to Easter, next Sunday. After Lent message, we're too sad to speak. We're seeing everything in shades of grey. We gladly waved our palm leaves on the way, Not knowing where his final steps would lead. For our sin, with his pure life he will pay. We weep that our own actions bring the need. At Easter Sunday Services, the sky Is brightened by a most rewarding sight. The good news must have been the reason why The clouds have dissipated in the night. His love more than we ere dare envision. Halleluiah, He is truly risen! Famous Last Lines Halleluiah, He is truly risen! We sing these words when Easter comes around. For Lent we've borne the burden of betrayal And have mourned as he was laid within the ground. The Easter Sunday Services brought good news. Christ has risen and the stone is rolled away. This heavy boulder also took our burdens. If we believe, we will not have to pay. Good Friday brought us into deep depression, When Jesus suffered for our selfish sin. The bells of Easter tell another story Christ has risen and we sinners are forgiven. Written February 28, 2016
