Because He Lives

Jesus came to save us from satan and the pains of hell
Dragging that heavy cross He stumbled and fell.
His hands were nailed to a dogwood tree
He took all of man's wrath and inequity.
Accused falsely for things He didn't say or do
Offering us Grace and Salvation to see us through.
In the garden of Gethsemane,
He knelt and prayed on bended knee
So scared He cried, "Father, take this cup away from me"
Father, let not mine, but thine, will be done
Be gone with evil, let satan flee, hide, and run.
Into His Father's hands His spirit did flow.
This happened over 2000 years ago.
He arose and came back in Spirit for all people to walk
on freedoms golden land.
His birth and resurrection by the Father was already planned.
Welcome Him into your heart and let Him live and stay
Let us rejoice on this festive Easter Holiday.
