What Easter means to me
Is down in my heart
The story all about Jesus
It's told from the start
How He rose that great morning
And rolled away the stone
He did it for us all
And did it all alone
Showing all His love
When He got up that great day
As He promised that He would
He'd have it no other way
So there we have it my friends
Because we all are set free
And everyone surely knows
What Easter means to me.
Angels observe our unfolding galaxy
Seemingly eternal to the human mind
Misperceptions they are superior in nature
For them like a temporary blink of a firefly
Their understanding of the prison we have created
And our ‘reality’ submerged in the limits of linear time
They whisper sweet reminders that we will transcend
Like star-blazing Easter eggs for a child to find
They navigate these unfamiliar perceptions
Like the first humans with the concept of flight
As prisoners who for a lifetime restrained
Then suddenly will themselves into the newest heights
And now I ask the assistance of our angelic brothers
Though I hope this isn’t construed as a prayer
This stirring I feel as I struggle to open my eyes
Please hasten my awakening of ‘aware’
Like a scientist observing a Petri dish
Watching with the most patient hopefulness
And when the angelic feel we are ready for more
A new idea enters our group consciousness
As an electric tidal wave surging from circuit to circuit
Dispelling our illusion like an illuminating flicker in the dark
The shackles around our minds are coming undone
As they lovingly remind us who we really are
L-ove for one another is what we all need.
O-n earth especially with all of the greed.
V=anity of vanities can plant it's own seed.
E-ach one should love as in the Bible we read.
T-he Ten Comandmants tell us to love.
H-ave mercy on us we pray to the Lord above.
Y-et we still don't love, we wear a face glove.
B-ring all your burdens to the cross, we say.
R-easoning that Jesus shed His blood there one day.
O-nly He had the greatest love for mankind, and for their sins did pay.
T-hen after three days in the ground where he lay,
H-e arose from the dead, on earth could not stay.
E-very Easter we celebrate this wondrous Love.
R-emembering Christ and His Love from above.
Jesus word's echo's through every breath,
Expressing his message's to his disciples.
Suffering as he was condemed to death,
Underneath a cross, he walked the trail.
Stumple and feeled along the way he went,
Is enduring sorrow, as he meets his mother.
Stripped of his sacred garments,
Raised upon a cross, was crowned with thorns, suffered.
INRI placed above Jesus's thorn's in his crown,
Skies darken as Jesus died a cruel agonizing cruxifiction.
Everyone mourned as they took him down,
Nails, and pertruding thorns removed from Jesus skin.
Lacerations upon Jesus as he was wrapped in shrouds,
Entomb Jesusbody peacefully rested.
Third day he was resurrected ascending in a cloud,
Until the day he will judge the living and the dead.
Seated besides his Father Almighty,
Radiance descending from Heaven.
Exclaiming Jesus praise and glory.
Jubilant we await Jesus returning again.
Our Holy Spirit grant us your blessing,
In your memory as we pray, and gather.
Celebrating the Ascension on this Easter Morning,
Exalt, Angel's release your glimmer upon our memorial redeemer.
S So swiftly as sunlight pierces a cloudy day, lies the
P Promise that day from night is born
R Resting gently, the golden ray on startled cheek
I Is like a feather from a singing lark
N No lovely thing from Him is ever lost
G Giving faith in tomorrow's renewal, with reverant intent
F For beauty hidden from our sight
A A little while, returns ....and then....
I It lifts with wings and flutters on
T The humble prayer of Easter is not in vain
H His proof of life everlasting, arrives in every spring
Salutations my Brethren, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour!
Though weary from your travels you may be
through Gods' love there is hope for you and me
to save the world He gave His only Son
and through the Cross death lost and life has won!
So to all of you who for salvation pray
take Christ into your hearts this very day
for God so loves us all that He did give
the precious blood of Christ so we could live!
If truly in your hearts you do believe
this gift of lasting life you will recieve!
Go in peace, dear Brethren, and may the Grace of God
follow you all of your days! In Christs' precious name, Amen.

Before morning sun,
Judas sold God’s son.
For the resurrection reminds us all of when,
Jesus Christ of Nazareth was crucified for our sins.
Then he was placed and encased in a tomb,
Lifeless, Jesus resumed.
Three days he laid alone,
Barricaded by a stone.
While everyone mourned,
Jesus rose on Easter morn.

-For Brian’s contest-
Welcome ye, who come to worship
And to recognize His Lordship
He spilled His blood for us to cleanse
And to provide our recompense
The futile grave gave up her dead
It was just as the prophets said
He arose when three days passed
Emmanuel had come at last
With grateful hearts we recall, thus
Now, Lord, please bless and forgive us
