John 11:25-26—"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” (King James Version)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Through ancient scriptures, the story is told
of a morning where hope was reborn.
Easter’s message, in every heart is worn,
a tale of love more precious than gold.
Upon the path where ancient olives tread
beneath the shadow of the sacred mount,
the murmurs of the faithful hearts recount
the tale of sacrifice, for us He bled.
In gardens of new bloom where lilies rise,
the dawn of Easter paints the sky with grace.
A stone rolled back reveals an empty space,
a world reborn through faith, in sunrise lies.
In gentle light, the morning breaks anew
Easter’s embrace, a testament so bright.
The dance of sunbeams chasing away night.
In resurrection, our faith finds its cue.
Upon the sacred morning of Easter’s dawn,
a world awakes to Light, so clear and pure.
In resurrection, our faith becomes sure.
A new chapter in our lives is drawn.
On Easter’s morn, a path of light is shown
guiding us through the darkness we face.
In every ray, the warmth of His embrace,
a journey towards the love we’ve always known.
With steps upon the path where He once trod,
Easter reminds us of the journey long.
In every step, we find our hearts belong
to the eternal love of our God.
