GOD’S GIFT
I think of Easter and the joy that it brings
From the past that is buried and the new days of spring
As I reflect on the times filled with trouble and strife
It was for these reason’s, God gave His Son’s life
He knew of the suffering and the pain he would bear
This sacrifice he gave so we would know he was there
What kind of being would put His Son through this test
To show us He loved us and would forever be blessed
Some look at the Bible and say, “How can that be?”
Why would He give His Son’s life, for somebody like me
Therein lies the answer, if we look deep inside
For the Love that He gave us as He let His Son die
As Jesus looked around from His left to His right
He knew all sins were forgiven as he died on that night
He didn’t utter a sound as they nailed him to the cross
He’d die like a criminal, so our souls wouldn’t be lost
I imagine those three men as they died on that hill
As death lingered over them and the night became still
Jesus looked toward the heavens and prayed to the Lord
Please forgive them dear God, that’s what I’m dying for
The blood poured so softly as the life left His soul
What a wonderful gift was that man on the pole
Was that the end of the story where all faith would end
Was that the end of God’s love that he ever would send
Did God forget the message that he let His son give
That through worship and faith through Him shall we live
On the day they removed the stone from the grave
God had taken his Son so we’d know we were saved
So where do we turn when our souls are not right
Just turn to God and His Love of that night
Love, Forgiveness, and Hope that night were given to me
God gave the life of His Son to help us all see
That the meaning of life is not mistakes of the past
But the true strength of Love that forever will last
So as we struggle with problems here on earth every day
We must reflect on the message that we learned in some way
We all are just human, that’s God’s special gift
But to forgive one another, our souls it will lift
As we celebrate Easter with our loved ones and friends
Think of God’s gift to us and for His love that won’t end
