Christian Easter Greetings
© By
M.S.Lowndes
Jesus Christ crucified,
His blood shed for all
The sacrificial Lamb of God,
Arose as Lord of Lords
And we can all rejoice today
In what our Lord has done,
No sacrifice can be compared
To that of God's dear Son.
Under the burden of the cross
That Jesus our Lord endured
With all the beatings and the mocking
Shouts of 'crucify', He heard
But still, He had deep compassion
In spite of what He went through
Crying out, 'Father forgive them
For they know not what they do'.
More than Easter bunnies
And chocolate eggs galore,
Is the cross of Calvary,
The sacrifice of our Lord —
For Jesus is the reason,
We all can celebrate
And come to Him to freely receive
His love and saving grace.
The most wonderful things
That Easter
time brings
Is knowing that our Lord
Was crucified for
all
The giving of His life
The most holy sacrifice
And He
did it just for us
Out of His undying love
Then on the third
day
He rose from the grave
And lives forever more
As our
Saviour and Lord.
Lord, you have given
Each of your
children
A hope and a destiny
You gave us life
The day
you died
And set our spirit's free
With each new
day
That comes along,
We live to honour Thee
The greatest love
Is Jesus Christ,
Who
died for us
Then was raised to life
He's alive today
And
lives in our hearts,
Our debts now all paid
To give a new
start.
God's love was the
way
To the old wooden cross
When we had no hope
And were
eternally lost
He offered unto us
A new life in Him
Through
His fateful death
And His resurrection.
Jesus is Lord
Enthroned above
Who gave
this gift
Of perfect love,
Who bled and died
To save us
all
Now reigns supreme
As Lord of Lords.
Love we forever
Hold in our hearts
For
Jesus, our Saviour,
Who in years gone past
Lived to bring
comfort,
Healing and grace
But rejected and beaten,
He died
in our place
Jesus so loved
Did all He could do
When nailed
to the cross,
He forgave me and you.
