To give ones life for others, did well sustain their trust
To spread true faith to all who live, from body weak that fell to dust
To suffer, to be slain by man, to whom he offered all
Beckons all the thoughts of man, to one of faith who took their fall

Easter brings a time when we should think of Jesus well
To tell the story to each child of how and why our saviour fell
To tell them of his courage, his strength which faith did give
To read to them the Bible’s words by which so many now do live

The time of resurrection when Jesus did return
When many unbelieving the strength of faith did learn
As the Lord from up above again made Jesus live
Was the time when heavens wealth to all of us did give

He rose from death and stillness to move the mighty stone
Then to a world of darkness the light of faith was shown
Revealing to the watchers the man who many grieved
In that moment all the world, salvation had received

So say a prayer to up above, to father and the son
Thank them for all that they share each day with everyone
Be thankful for each little gift that marks this special day
Thank Jesus for the time to come and what will come our way.
