For without the risen Son
the life we claim
the hope we cling
is meaningless
You came
You moved about
with purpose
living the life
Your Father God called you to
You stood
before your accusers
silent until near the end
And then You proclaimed,
"It is finished."
But it is not
You were
born to die
to live
and live again
forever and always
The tomb
in which Your body lay
could not restrain You
It was not Your final resting place
You arose
Up from the grave
Your resurrected body
You are not dead
You are alive.
You have risen from the dead
And after 40 days
You ascended into heaven
where You reign
until You return again.
Thank You Lord Jesus
for Easter morn
Thank You for finding me
and loving me
and healing me
and saving me
Thank You for the new life
You have given me
Thank You for Your Promises,
Your Blessings,
Your Truth
Thank You for Your Word
Thank You Lord Jesus
for my new life
a life reborn
Thank You for Easter morn
You are risen
You are risen indeed!
