1. Title: “Easter”

Let every heart be filled with joy,
A joy of thankfulness to our Savior and King!
He is victorious over sin and death.
He conquered death to give us a new life.

A life blossoms through His unending love.
It is for a cause and without condition
The love that brings healing and reconciliation,
A pure love that creates in us real peace.

Peace that springs from his sacred heart,
A heart that bleeds for our affliction.
It is full of mercy and compassion,
A heart wounded for our sins and vainglory.

Rejoice! Jesus is truly risen from the dead
For us to live once again,
To live without blemish of pride,
And live a life unselfishly for others in need.

2. Title: “Easter Joy”

Jesus came to Earth,
Teaching us how to live in mirth.
Prioritizing others, showing care,
Love and generosity, lessons rare.

He could have saved His divine self,
Angels summoned from the celestial shelf,
Yet He chose to pay sin’s hefty fee,
Out of love, setting us free.

On Good Friday, our Lord did fall,
The cross endured, but didn’t enthrall.
Easter’s dawn brought resurrection bright,
Filling our hearts with joyous light.

Living our lives for Jesus, each day anew,
Reflecting His teachings in all we pursue.
Savior, Lord, we express gratitude,
Help us love as you, in attitude and aptitude.

3. Title: “Freedom in the Cross”

There’s something that occurred
on that evening at Calvary
that created such a lavish stir
in all of history.

Upon that old rugged cross
our Savior bared it all
and offered himself a sacrifice
to overspread humanity’s fall.

The sacred blood that was spilled
wiped clean the sinner’s slate.
Christ paid the price for everyone
and carried our weight.

And through that selfless act of love,
we were given new life in Him,
set loose from our bondages
to experience true freedom within.

4. Title: “Easter Means Eternal Life”

A perfect God demands justice true;
Sin can’t be ignored; it needs undue review.
Free will misused, gates of heaven closed,
Our sin demands a sacrifice imposed.

Our Father, in sorrow, cried out in love,
“I’ll send my Son, a sacrifice from above.”
Good Friday marked our Jesus’ sacrifice,
Bearing our guilt, offering paradise.

On Easter morn, he conquered death’s strife,
Vanished from the tomb, granting eternal life.
His resurrection means salvation’s embrace,
For us, he came to earth, offering grace.

He took our place, the sin-laden cost,
To reconcile, when all seemed lost.
Easter’s promise, a renewed start,
A perfect God’s love, filling every heart.

5. Title: “Easter- Christ Has Risen”

The tomb is empty
The stone’s rolled aside
His clothes are one side
Christ’s body isn’t inside

He has risen as foretold
He has won over death
He triumphed over satan
He has saved all souls

Heaven is very nigh
All can now enter it
Repent for all your sins
Gain forgiveness of God

Christ proved He’s the Son of God
He is our Redeemer
He will come a second time
As King to judge humanity

6. Title: “A Second Chance”

God always wants the best for us,
But in Eden we sinned; we really blew it.
We disobeyed God’s direct decree;
We separated from Him, and we knew it.

You’d think we’d learn to behave ourselves,
But through all time, we just kept doing it;
Piling wrong on top of wrong,
Our punishment—we kept accruing it.

Jesus came and changed all that;
He paid the price for all our sins;
When we repent and believe in Him,
We change, and a better life begins.

Easter ensures paradise
For all of us, for you and me;
We’re reconciled to our Lord and King
For now and all eternity.

7. Title: “Good Friday”

Am I a stone, and not a sheep,
That I can stand, O Christ, beneath Thy cross,
To number drop by drop Thy blood’s slow loss,
And yet not weep?

Not so those women loved
Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter, weeping bitterly;
Not so the thief was moved;

Not so the Sun and Moon
Which hid their faces in a starless sky,
A horror of great darkness at broad noon –
I, only I.

Yet give not o’er,
But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock;
Greater than Moses, turn and look once more
And smite a rock.

8. Title: “Just Prayers”

No dyed eggs
Or rabbits near,
Just profound love
For Christ, so dear.

No Easter baskets
Filled with fluff,
No jelly beans
And other stuff.

No judgmental glances,
No conflicts, no strife
With those who follow
Worldly rites in life.

No condemnation
For those who may,
Just prayers for them
To love Him every day.

9. Title: “The Oxen”

Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock.
‘Now they are all on their knees,’
An elder said as we sat in a flock
By the embers in hearthside ease.

We pictured the meek mild creatures where
They dwelt in their strawy pen,
Nor did it occur to one of us there
To doubt they were kneeling then.

So fair a fancy few would weave
In these years! Yet, I feel,
If someone said on Christmas Eve,
‘Come; see the oxen kneel,

‘In the lonely barton by yonder coomb
Our childhood used to know,’
I should go with him in the gloom,
Hoping it might be so.

Easter is a joyous holiday marked by a season of renewal, colorful Easter eggs, and divine desserts.

Besides the annual Easter egg hunt and obligatory spring family photoshoot, Easter is a time to reconnect with family members and rejoice in this new season of hope.
