Sunday Best

What if our Easter Sunday was Holy Spirit led? What if in place of colored eggs, lost souls were sought instead? Instead of hurried egg hunts, we’d hurry to Christ’s grave Rejoice to find it empty, and shout within the cave What if crimson spotted robes replaced our light pastels? And thorns were thought more beautiful than eggs with painted shells? We’d tie our aprons at our waists and wash each other’s feet A sponge of vinegar we’d taste, instead of chocolate treats What if the fluffy bunnies moved over for the Lamb? And recognized the Prince of Peace, the King, the great I Am? Instead of Easter baskets, our hearts would overflow With kindness and concern for those we do and do not know A prize egg fat with silver coins would lose its mass appeal For Jesus is the Risen Christ, and all before Him kneel Father, Teacher, Son of Man, Redeemer, Risen Lord Master, Savior, Son of God, Christ will not be ignored! So as we dye our hard boiled eggs, and tie our pretty bows Let us remember Jesus Christ, from whom all blessings flow Ours is life washed free from sin, for Jesus paid the price He died to rise on Easter morn, our living sacrifice
