realizing what they'd done to the Son of Father. Jesus 
   gazed at their grief and sounds of raining tears; all
   they      could  see  was  the  blood - stained cross, 
   they      forgot   that  He  was  a  gift  for      us all. 
   Once more He  a r o s e  on the third day     to  be
   seen  only  to  those  chosen ones who spoke,  ate,
   and drank with               H i m,  to  receive   H i m
   back as L o r d.              After  the  Lord   J e s u s
   had spoken  to               them, He  was   taken  up
   to  h e a v e n                to  sit at the right hand of
   The F a t h e r.               Through  H i s death  and
                 R e s u r r e c t i o n
               He reconciled us
           back to the Father. 
      Concrete steps
 to our Lord.
