Remembering Easter

Easter morning reminds me of
sweet memories from childhood days
Off to Church our family would go
to lift our hearts and voices in praise

When we walked through the door the
fragrance of Easter lilies filled the room
Uplifting Easter music was being played
as we reflected on the empty tomb

With glad hearts the congregation sang
“Christ, the Lord is Risen Today”
Friends and neighbors came together
to worship the Lord in this special way

The Pastor spoke of Jesus’ friends fearing
for their own lives, and leaving His side
He had been beaten, spit upon, and mocked
His Mother, standing there, wept as He died

He spoke of Jesus placed in a borrowed tomb
that belonged to Joseph of Arimathea
Even though He died a cruel death
His death was sin’s panacea

Three days later some women went to
the tomb, and were surprised to find
the body of Jesus was no longer there
but His grave clothes were left behind

The grave could not hold Him
He conquered death as He had said
Satan did not have the victory
He had risen from the dead

Today as I walk into our Church
and smell the fragrance of the flowers
I’ll remember my childhood and
the blessing of salvation that is ours’

I will offer Him my worship and praise
as I sing “Christ Arose” with a glad voice
It is a day for happy jubilation
a day for Christians everywhere to rejoice
