Easter

About 2,000 years ago 

God in the person of Jesus 

Stepped into humanity to be our redemption 

To do what no man could do 

To find the lost 

Restore the broken 

Heal the sick 

Proclaim liberty to the captives 

And make all things new 

For God did not send His Son 

into the world to condemn the world, 

but that the world through Him might be saved.

For what the law could not do 

Being weak through the flesh 

He did by giving His son to die 

Making him who knew no sin

To be sin for us 

That we might become the righteousness of God in Him 

And so, on the way to redemption 

Our lord and savior

Suffered many woes. 

The King of Isreal and the whole world died  

And on that day, the earth revolted 

The sun hid its face 

And the veil was torn 

From top to bottom 

For the Lord of the universe had paid the ultimate price 

But Jesus, the Son of God 

My savior, My Lord 

Didn’t stay dead! 

The weight of my sins

And the sins of the whole world 

Which he beared on that old rugged cross 

Wasn’t enough to keep him dead 

The heavy, thick 10 tonne stone 

In front of His grave

Couldn’t keep him locked in 

For His love had to prevail 

His love prevailed 

In the giving of Himself on the cross. 

And low, on that third day 

That third glorious day 

The sun rose to meet the Son risen 

The stone was rolled away

For our eternal hope had come alive 

The tomb was empty

Stark empty  

And my Lord and savior indeed risen!!

The King of Isreal lives 

He reigns forever more

Let the praises of Him echoe 

From here to the ends of the earth 

For He has triumphed gloriously 

Making a public spectacle of 

Principalities and powers 

Of Sin and Death. 

He did all these as us. 

This is why we celebrate! 

Happy Easter!
