Even though the Easter Bunny
May try to claim the day;
I'll tell the real story of Easter
In my own and special way.

My Lord, Jesus, came as a man
Sin free and only good;
He laid down His life for me,
When they nailed His hands to wood.

He suffered pain and degradation,
They showed Him no respect;
They didn't understand His servitude,
They didn't like His intellect.



Joseph of Arimathea
Had a tomb to place Him in;
A huge stone and a guard
Kept others from going within.




But, oh what a surprise,
When on the third day they came;
He was no longer in the tomb,
An angel confirmed the same.

"He has risen as He said,"
The angel reported to them;
So, now our souls have been saved,
If we truly believe in Him.

Alleluia, we celebrate Easter,
And great joy fills my soul;
He wants us to spread His story,
So the whole world can know.
