THAT FIRST EASTER

In the streets and each alleyway
There are rumors flying today
They are talking in every doorway
The news is reaching near and far
Spreading like a wildfire

The One who preached forgiveness
That had angered them so
Has been crucified and laid low
And as he died
His Mother stood and cried

They took his lifeless shell
And laid it in a tomb away
With a stone they sealed it well
He had promised to rise
And save us from Hell

Tis now the third day

Listen to what they say…
“The stone is rolled away…
The stone IS rolled away… ”
The tomb is empty;
Bow your head and pray

Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

He is risen today…
