March 23, Easter Sunday                                         Romans 6: 3-11; Mathew 28: 1-10

 

We were baptized, as was he

Into the faith that leads to life eternally

He was raised from the dead to save us all

So we too could walk down a new life hall

He died on the cross to save our sin

When sin is destroyed, it’s a new chance to begin

He died once, regret gone from within

Consider yourself alive to God, and dead to sin

Two Mary’s were walking one day

Past the tomb where they thought Jesus lay

An angel came down with a few words to say

Just a few and then he’d be on his way

Do not be afraid, for I come with good word

He has risen from the dead like a baby bird

Go tell the disciples and they will see

He’s waiting for them in Galilee

The girls gave a shout of joy

For when they went to look they did not see the boy

They knew what the angel said must be true

So they did exactly what he told them to do

On the way they saw quite a sight

To hold the tears back was a fight

In front of them stood their beloved friend

Jesus Christ said to go, to meet his brothers at the end

The girls worshiped him from his head to his feet

He was back; God would not let him accept defeat.
