Easter

GOD EFFORTLESSLY

CREATED

THE WORLD

AROUND US

BUT HE DIDN’T STOP THERE

IN HIS OWN LIKENESS

HE MADE MANKIND

HE MADE US

HE MADE ME

HE MADE YOU

GOD ALMIGHTY

CRAFTING

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

SOMEONE BEAUTIFUL

SOMEONE UNIQUE

SOMEONE LIKE YOU

RARE

MIRACULOUS

UNPRECEDENTED

YOU

BREATHED

TO LIFE BY

THE GOD

OF THE

UNIVERSE

BUT BEING

MADE BY GOD

AND FOR

HIS GLORY WAS

NOT ENOUGH

FOR US

IN TIME

OUR HEARTS BENT

AWAY FROM HIS

AND WE WALKED AWAY

WE WALKED OUR WAY

THINKING SOMETHING

OR SOMEONE ELSE

WAS

BETTER

LIKE FOOLS,

WE ABANDONED THE GOD

OF ALL CREATION

BUT REBELLION WAS

BITTERSWEET

AND SOON DEATH CAME

EVERYTHING WAS TORN

AND BATTERED

AND BRUISED

AND BROKEN

AND ALL

OUR WELLS

RAN DRY

WE WERE WITHOUT HOPE

AND WITHOUT GOD

WITH NO WAY

BACK TO

HIM

BUT GOD

IS RICH IN MERCY

AND HIS LOVE FOR US

WOULD NOT FAIL

GOD HAD A PLAN

AN UNTHINKABLE PLAN

HE WOULD SEND HIS

ONE AND ONLY SON

IN HUMAN FLESH

THE INNOCENT FOR THE GUILTY

A DIVINE EXCHANGE

BEYOND COMPREHENSION

THE SON OF GOD

WOULD BE OFFERED

IN OUR PLACE

TO BE TORN

AND BATTERED

AND BRUISED

AND BROKEN

UNTIL DEATH CAME

HE BREATHED HIS FINAL BREATH

AND FREEDOM RANG

CHAINS WERE BROKEN

DEATH WAS FINISHED

AND IN THE END,

HIS LOVE WAS GREATER

THAN THE GRAVE

AND LIFE FOR US WAS BORN

HALLELUJAH

GOD’S LOVE IS

HIGHER THAN THE

MOUNTAIN OF OUR MESS

IT RUNS DEEPER THAN

THE STAINS THAT MAR US

FOR HE WAS PIERCED FOR

OUR TRANSGRESSIONS

CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES

THE PUNISHMENT THAT

BROUGHT US PEACE

WAS ON HIM

AND BY HIS WOUNDS

WE ARE HEALED

IT IS GRACE

IT IS GOD
