The First Easter Son Rise

THE FIRST EASTER “SON” RISE On that first Easter morning Before the break of day Mary visited the tomb of the Savior But the stone was rolled away Going in, she did not find Him Instead, two men who said, Why seek you the living Here among the dead? He's not here, for He has risen Come see the place He laid Go tell Peter and the disciples But do not be afraid Peter and the disciple Jesus loved Went to the tomb to see But they found that it was empty And wondered how this could be Then recalling what Jesus told them They knew they weren't deceived Their eyes had now been opened And both of them believed So on this Easter morning Like the one so long ago May you “see” the Risen Savior And then you too will know The joy that comes from seeing That the Son did rise indeed And from the right hand of the Father He'll supply our every need And soon, He will be coming For all the world to see Yes, the King will be returning Praise God, He's coming for me Curtis Moorman 24 March 2011
