Springtime in my Soul By Brenda Drake

Easter-time is like springtime – everything starts new again
The air smells fresh and sweet; and new life begins.
Birds sing it seems without tire.
Trees are clothed beautifully, as the sun warms its fire.
The world has new freshness it seems in Spring;
As all creation bows before the King.
Easter-time is like springtime in my soul.
Since I met Jesus, I am new and whole
Because of His sacrifice for me,
Now my heart is able to sing.
I am warmed by His love and clothed with righteousness,
Because, of His victory over death.
“He is risen! He is risen!  He is alive,” I can shout.
He has forgiven me and has cast my shame out.
I stand before Him with faith in my eyes,
No longer disgraced and despised.
I am new and fresh, because of His love and care,
The Easter-time message with another I am able to share

Song 2:11-12
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

He is Alive By Brenda Drake

He is Alive

She went to the borrowed tomb with heavy heart and mind
With the purpose to her dead Master to find.
She heard the angel say; He was not there,
“He is risen” was with her shared
Still she tried to find Him with blinded eyes,
She asked; a supposed gardener, (who was the Master disguised)
Where was He taken? She inquired again.
But, when He said her name…She recognized Him!
No one could say “Mary” with such love, as her Lord.
No one could ever fool her anymore.
She knew His voice: she was fully aware,
That her Lord was not dead; it was Him, standing there.
Even though she searched for the dead, what she found that day,
Was He was truth, life and the way!
Now, redeemed man is able to celebrate and rejoice,
They too, are certain, to clearly hear His voice.
He still calls His own by name.
He is no longer dead – He alive remains.
Rejoice… rejoice! He is risen is the song we sing.
He is alive! He that is alive, new life brings.
Look up, for He soon returns in like-manner as He ascended.
His reign on earth begins; when His preparations in heaven is ended.

Matthew 28:5-6
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen,
