True Easter
when pharisees and saducess
and men of might and valour
conspired with men to rob of men
of Him the glorious power
they spoke of plans
concocted schemes
and as a wolf devours
they nailed him up upon a tree
at the third and darkened hour
they sought to block
The Rock with rock
from granite hewn a coffin womb
as sunlight turned the dark to day
some women went to mourn and pray
they went to roll the stone away
they went to sing and praise His name
and ere they neared the pitless tomb
Behold! Behold! There was no groom
in his place an angel sat
who spoke of things a simple fact
He Lives! He Lives!
The Son of God has Life!
Death He takes and Life He gives!
the end of fear and strife
For Jesus Christ has died for you
and risen three days hence
to take away your sins from you
so a new you may commence
