What Easter Means To Me

Tears of joy streak down My dust covered face As I just wandered by and witnessed The utmost glorious grace Just three days ago I watched them crucify The son of God himself The man called Jesus Christ They poked him with their spears Wet his tongue with a vinegar sponge Nailed him to a tree And taunted “you’re not God’s son.” He hung there ‘til he died From his side water did drop They buried him in a tomb Where today I had to stop Past three days the door was covered A large stone placed there that day But, today as I walked by An angel rolled it away He had kept his promise Only 3 days would he lay dead To forgive us all our sins And, I believed in what he said He glided out of the tomb As if floating in the air “Do not be afraid” he said, With gentle love, and care He represents new life And all the wounds he can heal Is Easter day your resurrection? Can Jesus Christ be your shield? I weep to think of the pain He endured for you and me So he could take away our sins And one day, set us free!
