To show us how to live,
How to put others first,
How to love and how to give.
That God sent Him to do;
He took our punishment on Himself;
He made us clean and new.
Calling angels from above,
But He chose to pay our price for sin;
He paid it out of love.
But the cross did not destroy
His resurrection on Easter morn
That fills our hearts with joy.
Like His, is just a rest.
We'll be forever with Him
In heaven, where life is best.
Think of Him in all we do.
Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
Help us love like you!
love coming down from heaven,
love blanketing the earth
in a transforming embrace;
unique and infinite love,
giving more than we can imagine
for us, to cleanse our sin,
a perfect sacrifice, Lamb of God,
the walking, talking Word.
He is teacher, role model, friend,
this God in human form,
dying, then rising from the dead,
proving all who believe
will also rise
to have eternal life, with Him,
Lord of all.
Oh, Happy, Happy Easter!
He cannot let us get away with sin.
We used God’s gift of our free will to trespass,
So heaven’s gates were closed; we couldn’t get in.
To atone for all the wrongs that we had done.
"But I love them!" cried our Father, filled with sorrow;
"I’ll send my only Son to be the one."
The unblemished lamb, the perfect sacrifice.
He took our guilt and blame upon Himself,
So we could be with Him in paradise.
He vanished from the tomb, the empty grave.
His resurrection means eternal life
For us, the ones he came to earth to save.
And because of it, we’ll be with Him in glory.
is not all there is.
Jesus went "to prepare a place for us"
in His Father’s heavenly mansions
for all eternity.
Jesus died for our sins,
paying our penalty,
so that we could be forgiven.
He was resurrected, to prove
that death has no hold
on those who repent
and accept Him as Savior.
This life on earth is a prelude
to eternal joy with our Lord.
Easter is a celebration
of our eternal destiny.
For all the thoughtless, sinful things we do;
Jesus gave his life because He loves us;
His love is boundless, sweet, forever true.
His resurrection proves He is our Lord.
That is why we tell you, "Happy Easter!"
He secured our heavenly reward!
there would be no hope of heaven.
Without the hope of heaven,
there would be no repentance,
no personal transformation,
no attempt to follow biblical principles.
Without Easter,
the world would be in chaos
and darkness.
Jesus’ death and resurrection
means we can be reborn,
to live better, to do better,
to shine light into the shadows.
Hallelujah!
Happy, Happy Easter.
Whatever people seek in Him, they find.
In history, there has never been another
So holy, sacrificial, good and kind.
In heaven, we’ll be together with our King.
Eternally we’ll share in all His blessings;
Happy Easter! Jesus Christ is everything!
you shed your glory, your majesty,
your omnipotence
to become human, as Jesus Christ--
to get close to us, to connect with us,
to be our role model and guide for living.
O God of the Universe,
you became the human Jesus Christ,
to know us, to feel all we feel,
to show us how much you love us
by taking within yourself all our sins.
O God of the Universe,
you felt not just one person's pain
but the pain of all of us,
to wash us clean and bond with us,
your creation, your children.
O God of the Universe,
you proved your trancendent holy power
by rising from the dead,
a sign that all of us who believe in You
will also rise to be with You eternally.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ
is the "Happy" in "Happy Easter."
Happy Easter to all those who love Him.
But in Eden we sinned; we really blew it.
We disobeyed God’s direct decree;
We separated from Him, and we knew it.
But through all time, we just kept doing it;
Piling wrong on top of wrong,
Our punishment—we kept accruing it.
He paid the price for all our sins;
When we repent and believe in Him,
We change, and a better life begins.
For us to choose to put things right;
If we repent, and really believe,
Our record is polished clean and bright.
He guaranteed our eternal life,
Reunited with God in heaven,
Free from tears and fears and strife.
For all of us, for you and me;
We’re reconciled to our Lord and King
For now and all eternity.
the chaos of this world
would be all there is
and all there ever would be.
If not for Easter,
the unfairness of life
would drive us to despair.
But God sent His Son
to give eternal life
filled with peace, happiness
and unimaginable blessings
to those who choose Him.
All we have to do is choose Him.
Happy, Happy Easter!
For all the wrongs we do.
He came to earth to die for us,
So we’d be born anew.
He cried, in a plaintive voice;
"Yet not My will, but Thine be done;"
He said, in His faithful choice.
He faced a hostile crowd;
The governor, Pilate, saw through it all;
Jesus’ guilt he disavowed.
Said Pilate, "Let Him be."
But the crowd yelled "Crucify him now,
And set Barabbas free!"
And Jesus was led away.
The soldiers beat him, and mocked Him, too,
Yet He continued to obey.
As His sentence was carried out;
His hands and feet were pierced with nails,
But He did not scream or shout.
They know not what they do."
He said this despite His torment, because,
He was thinking of me and you.
As His body gave up to death.
The curtain tore, and darkness fell,
After He took His last breath.
It’s why on Easter we’re filled with pleasure:
Death could not our Savior hold;
His power is beyond all measure.
Ever since, He’s inspired devotion,
And we’ll be with Him for eternity,
When we get our heavenly promotion.
He suffered and died in our place.
He rose and forgave us and loves us still,
Our Savior of matchless grace.
Or bunnies here,
Just deep-felt love
For Christ, so dear. No easter baskets
Full of fluff,
No jelly beans
And other stuff. No superior looks,
No strife, no fights
With those who keep
The worldly rites. No condemnation
For those who do,
Just prayers for them
To love Him, too.
The Easter story tells me so.
He died for me to bear my sin;
He opened heaven to let me in.
Yes Jesus loves me;
Yes Jesus loves me;
Easter tells me so.
Loved me enough to be crucified.
But His death didn't last very long,
Because His power is so strong.
Yes Jesus loves me;
Yes Jesus loves me;
Easter tells me so.
I know because the Bible said.
Jesus is my Lord and King;
Love and praise to Him I bring.
Yes Jesus loves me;
Yes Jesus loves me;
Easter tells me so.
We'll all be in heaven, me and you.
We'll see Jesus face to face.
Up in heaven, that happy place.
Yes Jesus loves me;
Yes Jesus loves me;
Easter tells me so.
To us all, each girl and boy.
Jesus is my Savior now;
Heaven and earth to Him must bow.
Yes Jesus loves me;
Yes Jesus loves me;
Easter tells me so.
Allelujah!
Jesus Christ from death was raised.
Allelujah.
Allelujah!
All for us, He was crucified.
Allelujah.
Allelujah!
From my sin, to set me free.
Allelujah.
Allelujah!
And to life He was restored.
Allelujah.
Allelujah!
His resurrection to celebrate.
Allelujah.
Allelujah!
We’ll live in heaven with Him on high.
Allelujah.
Allelujah!
That’s what Easter means to me.
Allelujah.
