Easter
When God made man so long ago
In yonder garden fair
Gave just one rule for man to keep
Twas more than man could bear
Man ate the fruit forbidden there
And death the price to pay
The curse of sin upon the race
There was no other way
But Jesus came to earth one day
And died upon the tree
Took on himself the Sin of man
To set the captive free
They buried him in borrowed tomb
They wrapped him in grave clothes
But praise His name the Holy son
From that old tomb arose
Death could not hold the son of God
He tore its bonds away
The first fruit of the grave of sin
Was Jesus there that day
The mighty son ascended back
To Heaven whence he came
The promise is to resurect
Believers in His name
Yes he arose and and we shall rise
From graves wherever they may be
Or if alive when Jesus comes
From death forever free
