The Easter Story

This Easter season, let me stay With my Lord, as He wends His way. To turn away would be treason Let me stay, this Easter season. Let me be she who lifts the cross, Who comforts Mary in her loss. Right by His side I long to be. Who lifts the cross, let me be she. I want to be of lonely few Who are still there in morning dew, First the rolled away stone to see. Of lonely few, l want to be. Let me go forth to spread the news. Our dear Lord chose His life to lose. He died for me of little worth. To spread the news, let me go forth. The Easter story, often told, Is fresh as in those days of old. Let me tell of its pure glory. Often told, the Easter Story.
