Years and years and years ago

God had a plan and let no one know

He sacrificed his son in place of our sin

So that heavens gates we may enter in

His son was humiliated and brutally whipped

While on the cross, old wine he sipped

He tried his best to cure us of evil

Though to be kind to one another was not their will

Then, on that sad sad day, Jesus let out a sigh

His head fell limp, family began to cry

The king hid his body and blocked the way

Guards stood outside night and day

Three days later his body went missing

It was thought to be stolen by the guards and the king

A stranger approached a woman and soothed her pain

She looked at his face and recalled his name

Jesus, the son has risen from his cold dark slumber

A mighty king born from a mortal mother

High up in the clouds he is watching us show our love in many a way

As we celebrate his grace on this beautiful Easter Day
