Notes About The Poem
"Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here but has risen."
Luke 24:5
_________________________________
Alleluia
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
From the hymn, Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
written by Charles Wesley
______________
Christ rose from the dead on Easter day;
For me, for you, for every person, Alleluia!
In churches or anywhere we pray;
Oh, though betrayed he still loved, Alleluia!
Did HE have flashes of his earthly life;
During those beatings and floggings, Alleluia !
Or when his suffering cut like a knife;
Oh, though betrayed he still loved, Alleluia!
Condemned to be crucified did HE recall;
Why his father had forsaken him, Alleluia!
Did he see his childhood when he had to crawl;
Oh, though betrayed he still loved Alleluia!
Oh, when they nailed his hands and feet;
He forgave, for it was his fate, Alleluia!
And when his tomb was empty it was complete;
Oh, though betrayed he still loved, Alleluia!
