Because of Easter

Because of Easter

Life is not spent

In hopeless search

For reason in the sorrow.

Because of Easter,

Your name is called,

Like Lazarus from the tomb

With purpose for tomorrow.

Because of Easter,

Every life has hope

Beyond sin’s deadly grip

That binds in endless pain.

Because of Easter,

There is a choice:

Gain the world and lose it all, or

Choose the Son and all His gain.

Because of Easter,

Sadness has an end.

Death is not the final word,

The grave can’t keep its prize.

Because of Easter,

God Himself arrives

To not just dwell with us,

But in our hearts abide.

Because of Easter,

No question lies

Of Who God is,

Or why He died.

Because of Easter,

God displayed His love.

For whosoever calls His name

Will receive His life.
