~Happy Resurrection Day!~

~The Resurrection~

We hold so close to our hearts

The cross where Jesus died

But so much more than the blood-stained cross

Is that Jesus came back to life.

The stone's been rolled away,

The tomb lay open and bare.

They looked for Him and then the angel said

That He is no longer here.

Oh, what joy they must have felt

To see Him just once more.

To eat with him, to drink with Him,

To receive Him back as Lord.

So much did He accomplish

Through His death upon the cross

And in His rising from the dead

He reconciled us back to God.

Nothing else could bridge the gap

That sin had wrenched apart.

Now we can freely go to God

And receive Christ in our hearts.
