A Poem I Wrote for Easter

Sorry to post so late...I've been busy, but now I'm home for the summer. :) Praise the Lord! 

Upon the cross my Savior bled

He gave His life for me

And by the water and the blood

He sealed the victory. 

But as the sun began to set

They laid Him in a tomb

And sorrow caused them to forget

That He would rise up soon. 

He rested on the Sabbath 'til

He heard the angel's voice

"Come forth, God's Son! Thy Father calls!"

Let all the earth rejoice! 

He broke the chains of death with love 

He conquered every sin

He rose again and reigns above

All glory goes to Him. 

Now all my riches, worldly fame, 

I place upon His cross

With Him I give my self away

I count all things as loss

My life, now hid with Christ in God, 

I press toward the prize

That I may hear the upward call

And with my Savior rise.

Hosanna to the King of kings 

Who rose up from the dead

Where once he wore the cruel thorns

Now victory crowns instead.

All nations now shall bow the knee

And every tongue confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord indeed -

The King of Righteousness.
