The Easter story never grows old.
It's the message of hope for us all.
It shows the depth of the father's love
and how Jesus answered the call.
Hopelessly lost, in bondage to sin
was the condition of fallen man.
There was no one to pay the debt,
but God brought forth a master plan.
Such love was not known to man.
None had made such great sacrifice.
Who else would give his own son
and watch as the son give his life?
Oh, the love the Father did show
by offering Jesus to die on the cross,
to bring redemption to fallen man,
who was painfully, hopelessly lost.
Jesus came from heaven to die,
so they nailed him to the cross.
God accepted his death as payment,
for extremely high was sin's cost.
God raised Jesus from the grave,
and forever our Lord is alive.
The resurrection gives hope to us all
that in Christ, we can have eternal life.
