Thoughts on the events of Easter

He Bore Our Cross
Jesus staggered at the load, going up that old hill ~
Paying all sins, who turns, and does Gods will.

He'll pardon you and me with all His abundant love,
As we pick up our crosses and follow Him above.

Joy abounded when He split the veil from bottom to top,
And the rains came down, with clouds bloating to pop.

Seeing, then that we have a hope, such, being so great
There can be no room in the heart, for things of hate.

His precious Blood running down the hill with rue.
He said Father forgive them, they know not what they do.

The veil taken away for we, who believe on His name.
We bow to His Glorious honor, without any shame.

The third day He opened the door to His borrowed grave.
Taught all His disciples how, the people could be saved.

Our Lord didn't commission someone to take His place.
He took on all our own shame and died full of Grace.

He carried the Cross, there's no need to do it again.
He went into Satan's hell, and took the keys to amend

All the sin that ever was or will ever be on earth.
He's the Son who was born of the Spirit and a virgin birth.

He's coming again one day soon, we surely all believe.
Let us be ready, and willing, in our hearts, Him to receive,

Today is the appointed time; why would any want to wait?
Jesus is coming soon, don't abide in sin, 'til it's too late.

"The place where Jesus was crucified"

(Jn.19:20).
Jesus your blood on the cross was shed,
You were bruised and broken in my stead.
I praise you now for that cleansing day,
And marvel in awe at your atoning way.

Even for me Lord you willingly came,
You went the way of suffering and shame.
Crushed and chastised to make me whole,
I just worship you for saving my soul.

Surely at Calvary my peace was made,
For all my sins on you were laid.
In love you bore them that I might be,
Holy, unstained and from sin set free.

Upon a tree, crucified and lifted on high,
Then "Father forgive them" is what you cry.
Forgiveness now because in that place,
You enabled sinners to be saved by grace.

Saviour at the cross you carried my sin,
To make me clean without and within.
Wounded for me and my sinful ways,
I give you my love and all of my days

Crucify

"Jesus Has Risen"

"Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!" (Mark 16:6)
Rejoice and sing with all you breath,
For the Prince of life has conquered death.
Death´s sting has been taken and overcome,
It´s now but a shadow for the Lord has won.

Inside the grave we can have a key,
For the stone has been rolled for you and me.
The grave wont keep us forever to decay,
For the locks been turned to open the Way!

Satan surely slipped on a banana that week,
For the Lord of life burst from beneath his feet.
Ha, the lord of death could not hold his prey,
Now "where is your sting" we can sing and say!

Eternal life, listen, O won´t you believe?
For the risen Saviour is there to receive!
I mocked and sneered and once made fun,
But then I beheld the living Son!

Now I know with those angels on that day,
Jesus, "He is Risen", and is not where He lay.
For behold, He met me as I travelled my road,
He warmed my heart and took my load!
