Songs of joyfulness and praise
with gladsome voices now we raise.
Jesus Christ, God’s only Son
has risen from the darkened tomb.
We waived palms on Sunday last
and watched as Jesus Christ rode past.
The Lord of all before us stood
and showed the world that all was good.
All too soon the Lord was found
nailed to a cross on hallowed ground.
Then He died in front of friends
but that’s not where the story ends.
Three days hence as Sunday dawned
They found someone had moved the stone.
The tomb was empty – He’s not here!
Where is our Lord? He’s somewhere near!
On a path along the way
They celebrated God that day.
The risen Lord was standing there!
There was no sadness. No Despair.
Jesus Christ, the risen King
Does bless us all so let us sing!
Christ the Lord is Risen today!
Our triumphant holy day!
May God and His Son bless you this Easter! Love!
