"EVERYDAY IS EASTER"
+ + +
On this sunny Easter day
as I bow my head to pray,
a vision comes to mind, and what it means;
I see Jesus hoist on high,
upon that cross to die;
stretched and nailed into those wooden beams.
I view Him as he died,
flogged and crucified
as His body hung there, limp and pale;
I can see Him there and now
with the thorns stuck in his brow,
and the blood that trickled down from every nail!
+ + +
In my sight is Calvary Hill
where the blood of Christ was spilled,
and He died there in a cause for you and me;
If He suffered in this deed,
from the sins that all be freed,
can't we endure the pain that comes to be?
When my thoughts go back to see
the scene at Calvary,
the misery that confronts me... disappears.
And my Savior clinging there
with the pain He had to bear,
takes away my troubles and my fears.
For misery seems to fade
by the promises He made,
as joy begins to swell within my breast;
and the love that fills my heart
from my bosom never part,
just trust in Christ and He will do the rest!
+ + +
So on this Easter Sunday, or any other day,
remember why He died and why He rose;
To save us from our sin;
that souls be born again;
brought about by love that God bestows!
