Easters True Meaning Easter bunnies, Chocolate eggs and happy children playing Peter Rabbit, fluffy chicks and Happy Easter saying Little ones running here and there telling each other tales But Easters true meaning started out towards whip and cross and nails He hung on a rugged cross battered, torn and bruised A crown of thorns upon His head the soldiers were amused Where is your God now they said their voices filled with sneering, A spear was thrust into His side while others looked on cheering Did you hear Him one voice said He asked we be forgiven He called someone His Father when He looked up to the heavens What rubbish Hes the carpenters son and its plain to see Hes dead Now which of us will have His cloak but no one really cared His followers took His body down they laid it in a tomb With heavy hearts and crying eyes and voices filled with gloom But Jesus had a job to do and needed these three days To smash the enemys fortress claiming victory all the way Then He took this victory over death and hell and sin He presented it to His Father with the blood hed wrapped it in After this because of love He showed Himself once more To the folks who mourned His passing when He died just days before Though we do not see Him now in the flesh as they did then Its just as true our Saviour lives for us therell be no end So when the Angel comes to call at the closing of lifes day For me therell be no heavy heart just singing all the way I know, I know, my Saviour lives, Hes waiting there for me And Ill walk and talk with Jesus right into eternity Written by Coralyn Wall 1991
