The word holiday was derived from Holy Day. This was a day given to workers in biblical times so that they might be able to go to church and worship God. It has, in my opinion, been grossly distorted into any day of the year in which people are given a day off work. So I wrote the following description of what I feel is an real holiday, and given this time of year, I described my feelings of Easter.
Dogwood trees in full bloom
Scents of glorious perfume
Flowers color a beautiful maize
'Tis nothing but a holiday
Fresh buds point towards the sky
April's mist falls in my eye
Canvas sky streaked blue and gray
'Tis nothing but a holiday
Sweet surrender at the altar
Earnest voices do not falter
On knees before His Son we pray
'Tis nothing but a holiday
Pastor shouts "He is arisen!"
All our sins have been forgiven
Hearts and souls may rest today
'Tis nothing but a holiday
Then sings my soul this mighty song
Of the one who was so strong
Died to wash me sins away
'Tis nothing but a holiday
Jesus hear me now my savior
Keep my always in thy favor
You are alive and here to stay
'Tis nothing but a holiday
On my knees now Lord I ask
Make me reborn, my past is past
Let me come with you I pray
'Tis nothing but a holiday
I lift my eyes and tears do come
Though words do fail me, my soul sings strong
Your spirit is in me, You'll not betray
'Tis nothing but a holiday
My love for You is never ending
My faith renewed, my heart is mended
Jesus, you died and I was saved
'Tis nothing but a Holy Day
