Once a year we celebrate,<\/p>\n
Christ rising from the dead.<\/p>\n
We who deserve to die in sin, <\/p>\n
Jesus took our place instead.<\/p>\n
This act of God\u2019s amazing grace, <\/p>\n
His pardon from sin to set us free. <\/p>\n
Demonstrates His great love for all mankind.<\/p>\n
His personal love, for you and me. <\/p>\n
Jesus came to earth from heaven above, <\/p>\n
Lived as a baby, child, and adult.<\/p>\n
He personally experienced life as we do,<\/p>\n
He knew no sin, was perfect, had no fault.<\/p>\n
He taught us how to live our lives.<\/p>\n
He set the example for us to follow.<\/p>\n
If we surrender ourselves to Him,<\/p>\n
Our lives will be full, not empty or hollow.<\/p>\n
Our lives are not our own,<\/p>\n
We have been bought with a great price.<\/p>\n
The precious Son of God,<\/p>\n
For us, He became a Holy Sacrifice!<\/p>\n
For all who know The Lord, <\/p>\n
We celebrate each and every day.<\/p>\n
The fact that Jesus died to save us,<\/p>\n
At the Cross our lives we lay.<\/p>\n
We have been raised to abundant life,<\/p>\n
To be guided, directed, by His great hand,<\/p>\n
Fellowship with our Creator, Father,<\/p>\n
As this was His original plan,<\/p>\n
Father, how thankful and grateful we are,<\/p>\n
For Your merciful, infinite love.<\/p>\n
We give You all praise, glory and honor,<\/p>\n
We bow in worship, to our God above.<\/p>\n
