Easter

White rabbits & chocolate bunnies
All those warm, soft fuzzies
Pastel eggs hidden in green grass
Until a happy child makes
A joyful discovery of them at last
With loud, sudden squeals of delight
What a truly pleasing sight!

All dressed up in clean, bright clothes
All done for this day’s special show
Soft ribbons in the hair
New shoes, polished, & on the feet
& goodies that will not long
Be allowed in a basket to keep

Nothing wrong with these simple delights
God does not mind us
Enjoying all his blessings
But with many of these gifts
May also at times come a terrible testing

This day of Easter is really
About a sacrifice
Not to be forgotten
For all our joys & pleasures
Came at the cost of another’s life!

A bloodied cross, a broken body
An empty tomb
God’s love on display
Brought about all of the
Joys & pleasures of this day

Made us once more
Welcome in Heaven
Brought us back into 
God’s loving arms
Safe at last from all of 
satan’s cruelest harms

So on that most glorious day
Our eternal souls were saved
As Christ stepped back out 
Into a world He owned
Eternity’s power rolled back
That oh so heavy stone
So you too will be saved
to step into His glorious garden 
From your own emptied grave!!

Destiny

Destiny

Glory shattered on a tree
But only temporarily
Lifted upward into an azure sky
Why oh why does this always
Give me the urge to endlessly cry?

Because,
It was perfect love on display
Selflessly giving itself away
And for us fallen creatures
His creation’s men
Did it only so a pain-free home
One day we would be allowed to win

Jesus dying in a horrible agony
Lifting His face to His Father’s Heaven
And seeing into this earth’s future
Thought of only you and me
With that last beat of His Loving Heart
Creating for us a higher, purer destiny!

Solace

Solace

A world in chaos
Precious souls torn 
To pieces
satin's influence without 
Restraint
Where is safety?
Only in One Name

Comfort, comfort
My people
You have said before
Today we could not need
You any more
Come, Lord God,
Come

This Easter weekend
We celebrate your death, 
Burial & glorious resurrection
To save me from
My imperfections
And our great fall,
Our horrible defection
Away from Your Grace

So thank you
Lord God
For the precious blood
That was shed
Running brightly red
On that one & only day
That brought to us
Through a cruel cross
Your Solace!

REFLECTIONS

We were created to be
Reflections
Mirrors of someone 
Greater, Higher, Wiser
Purer 

Easter gives us our chance
To once more dance
At the foot of His Throne
Held enthralled within the golden glow
Of His Beauty

But all of that dance
Requires for us to return
To that which so many spurn
Obedience, submission
To God’s will

So reach for that opportunity
To once again live in unity
With someone so beautiful
That submission to Him
Only brings about a win
For you of perfection’s glory!

Easter #2

Easter II

Easter is a time
To remind
Of this earth’s re-birth
A removal of 
Our own sin’s curse

It was an absolute win
Of Jesus the living Christ
As He gave us a chance
At a totally new life
A REBIRTH of His Paradise

As He stepped out
Of a darkened tomb
He was giving us a chance
To come out of 
That darkened womb
Of our own evil rebellion

Easter is as in 
His Holy Book
A telling of that story
Wherein is revealed
God’s greatest glory
His Mercy, Grace & 
Forgiveness

His love for us so great
He was willing to put at stake
His own SON’S LIFE
The greatest sacrifice

So on that history-shattering day
We were eternally saved
Out of His Greatest Love
From forever being thrown
Into infinity’s blackest abyss
