Hey everyone, I wrote a poem for Easter and decided to post it in celebration of Resurrection Sunday!
I hope you guys enjoy it!
Everything can change in a moment
From what it was before
Everything can change in an instant
When salvation is knocking on your door
The blood and sweat mix together in a tragic harmony
On that dreaded fateful day
When our Lord was crucified on the cross
As our sins were washed away
The earth went dark, there was a spark
In Heaven as He tore the veil
Sealing fate for all who make
Him a part of their life and will
With one last breath He looked ahead
And said “not my will but thine”
As His soul was committed to the Father and there was darkness in the sky
His heart went out, His mercy fell, in an act of love and life
A death and burial for us all in an act that was love personified
Three days passed as the disciples stood waiting for a direction or a sign
Trying to discern the Lord’s will, not knowing this was an act divine
Three days passed and so it seemed
That hope was wearing thin
Until the tomb was visited, by an angel and two women
Yes, an angel appeared to give the news
He said to them “Fear not!”
“For the one you look for is no longer here, no He is now long gone
Christ has risen from the dead, go tell the world good news”
This was a day for celebration, when all that He said had come true
This is the miracle of Easter
A story passed down of old
This is the story of Easter
And it is a story meant to be told
Everything can change in an instant
When Jesus comes into our lives
Everything can change in a moment
Because of the love of Christ
Happy Easter!
