All the stores may be closed,
All the church doors may be shut;
Families may not gather,
And friends cannot touch.

Even with this corona virus,
Wreaking havoc on our land;
Even though we can't gather,
Together we will stand.

Our Easter will still be joyful,
We will still sing our hymns;
We will still pray together,
And ask forgiveness of our sin.

We will still send greetings,
We will still share love;
We will still laugh and sing,
Praises to God above.

Nothing will stop its coming,
We will celebrate all the same;
Easter is not canceled,
We will celebrate our claim.

We know Jesus is risen,
We know He still lives:
That is the promise of Easter,
And one He still gives.

Alleluia! Christ is risen,
Alleluia! Christ still lives;
Alleluia! We are saved,
Alleluia! He still forgives.

So celebrate Easter with joy,
Be happy and sing songs:
Let Him hear your praise,
He will come back before long.
