Our Gift of Easter

Our Gift of Easter

                   "Easter is the holiest of liturgical celebrations~
                     it is a time of farewells and renewal."
                                                                            ~the poet


                    The body and blood of Christ given up for humankind,
            Crucified on a cross, condemned unjustly, all part of a prophecy;
                           Betrayed for pieces of silver and lies.
         God's plan to save our souls iniquities; his only son the sacrificial lamb,
                 Resurrected from the depths of deaths darkness,
                He lives within us; guiding our path with his light.
                      Our unwavering faith bringing us to glory, 
                            immortality, throughout eternity.
