Easter by  Joanne C. Wolford

As God watched from the Heavens,
The unfolding of Christ's fate.
A multitude of Angels,
Stood poised behind the gate.
They knew God could bind Satan,
In the twinkling of an eye.
And thus remove his burden,
To suffer and to die.
But God knew without Calvary,
Man would forever be.
Lost deep within our human sin,
For all eternity.

Yes, Christ must bear our burdens,
He must pay the price.
Wipe clean the slate for mankind's sin, Our Holy Sacrifice!!
They watched as it unfolded,
They watched the Son of Man.
Die in our place, upon the Cross,
Our Sacrificial Lamb.
The nails were driven through Him,
And they mocked the King of Kings.
But when He cried. "It Is Finished!"
Heaven heard the Angels sing! 

God shook the earth, the curtain split,
He covered up the sun.
All Heaven praised His Glory...
For the battle had been won.
And the tomb now just a resting place,
As His Spirit was set free.
To finish all of God's commands,
To fulfill His prophecy.

Then came that blessed morning,
When the stone was rolled away.
And God revealed Christ's Glory,
That Blessed Easter Day.
The day sin was defeated,
In the resurrected Christ.
For His Blood bought our redemption,
His sacrifice paid the price.
So Thank You Father for your gift,
A gift beyond compare,
And if Christ lives within your heart,
All His Victories you will share!!
