Easter is no doubt the most joyful event on the Christian calendar.  A few years ago, I collected some of the major events and themes of the Easter story and organized them into verse.  My prayer is that this poem will be a source of blessing and encouragement to each one who reads it.  Thanks…David

Resurrection Sunday

 

Long ago and far away on a mount called Calvary

He was nailed to a cross where He died for you and me

They placed Him in a tomb and soldiers blocked the entry way

But He was nowhere to be found, on the morning of the third day

 

The greatest day in history is the morning of the third day

God revealed a mystery on the morning of the third day

They arrived at His tomb and found the stone rolled away

He had conquered death and doom, on Resurrection Sunday

 

Why is it that you seek the living ‘mongst the dead

You will not find Him here, for He has risen as He said!

 

He preached to captive souls and set their spirits free

He ascended to God’s throne and returned victoriously

He told family and friends, peace be unto you today

For He had risen from the dead, on the morning of the third day

 

What a grand and glorious morn, when He rose from the grave

What a triumph over sin, which no longer could enslave

What a wondrous day for man when the Truth, the Life, the Way

So defeated Satan’s plan, on the morning of the third day

 

Oh the day whose magnitude shook the world’s foundation

Oh the dawn that gave new hope to every tribe and nation

Oh the morn when saints rejoiced and sinners fell to pray

When Salvation’s plan was sealed, on the morning of the third day

 

The greatest day in history is the morning of the third day

God revealed a mystery on the morning of the third day

They arrived at His tomb and found the stone rolled away

Jesus conquered death and doom, on resurrection Sunday!

 

Why is it that you seek the living ‘mongst the dead

You will not find Him here, for He is risen as He said!
