After the quietness, satan’s victory dance Over His grave In the stillness of the Morning’s freshest dew And in the richness Of God’s plan His whole world to renew Nothing ever seen before Occurred
God in the flesh Stepped out of His Now emptied grave!
As the ground shook The stone was rolled away An angel came to sit In all his glory Christ stepped out To take control, full sway Over all of creation Once again He came to claim His VICTORY!!
To show satan for all eternity He was defeated Only God has the last word Death now eternally cheated As Christ stepped out into The garden He declared that forever On His glorious throne Again would He be seated
Came to save us from An infinity of hell Evil, darkness, condemnation Hearing its funeral knell To give mankind its share In heaven’s perfect life This is what His Resurrection Was meant to declare!
But all this is left up to you God will never force or coerce Wanting you to joyfully give Your heart out of your own choice So you may own, shout in your own voice Your VICTORY!
Silence An absence of sound The rocks have split Upheavals have shaken The underfoot ground The sky has blackened And at last cleared The city in a festive mood It hears people raise a few cheers But still they do not see, They have not understood
Followers, disciples Huddle in a locked, darkened room Not knowing what comes next If at tomorrow, will that be too soon? Or will today be their last breath They try to comfort one another Hoping to stave off their own death As a few women in the corner Continue to weep
Prayers are raised But God is silent He has already said all He had to say It happened on the night, Of His son’s birth And at last The last day of His painful, Tortured life on this green earth
So get used to the days of silence, They serve a purpose To you, can actually be of a Deeper service Learn how to wait, trust Even when you don’t hear God’s voice See His Almighty hand closely at work For us, this could be life’s hardest choice
Death A word we Have all Come to fear For loved ones it Can most certainly bring forth their tears
But It was conquered Praise You, Lord God Lord Jesus For setting up Your plan To save the only One in your image Created Your man!
Saved by The Prince of Peace On an agonizing cross He suffered, died As His friends, mother They saw and all did weep But did it only for us all Our eternal souls To keep
So today while you Still have the chance Remember Christ’s Holy Glory The agony He endured Only to insure That you too could step Out of satan’s pit of hell Emptied out of your own Grave Now it’s your time to turn And of his death, Resurrection others to tell So they also may rejoice With one rising crescendo’s Voice To praise God the Father for The Son’s rise On that ancient but Most Glorious Easter morning!!
Soft and subtle Until it isn’t Then it rears its Ugly head To bite you Swallow you Whole Wishing to make you Only dead
satan’s darkness Works like that Starting with only angry Complaints Working undercover Until it completely removes All restraints To fully destroy you
So they did with Christ At first, Only anger’s hatred Until the evil within man Fully exploded Trying to destroy Someone most sacred God Himself!
At His last supper On this green planet He urged his true followers Of many things To love each other, Honor His blood and body With powerful words With Holy truths His words did ring
Until at last Men with clubs Came to gather Him To his accusers In only heartbeats They would soon be His Physical abusers Of all these occurrences Christ was already knowledgeable Knowing His Father’s will was Eternally indomitable Walked into their death trap And did it always and only To save all of us, me And of course, You!!
Holy Week A week like no other Man will ever see Heaven’s Holy Light Chose to walk, Talk with us Die for us Give us The chance to Do the choosing Between
Choosing between what You say? Between good and evil Heaven and hell Death and life God's peace or Man's evil strife Satan's narcissistic destruction Or God's sacrificial love
Behind whose back You choose to follow In whose steps You wish to walk Remember, One way rings false, Only hollow The other leads To a bliss filled eternity Full of nothing but God's peace To be eternally protected by HIS LOVE'S DIVINE SECURITY!!
Triumphal entry Fit for, Worthy of only a King Words of HOSANNA! Forever thru All the ages Will they, must they ring
Palms before your feet Were laid in praise From among the crowd, Children's voices were raised And if they had not Well, Then even the rocks Could not have been stopped From singing Your Glory!
So thank You, Lord Jesus For stepping into Our violent, cruel history With each step Each word Each drop of blood You declared your victory And thankfully, blissfully The world will never Be the same again!!!
