The Day After By Brenda Drake

The day after

The day after the resurrection I wonder what it was like?
After a once broken heart was visited by God’s healing light?
I wonder did they dance and sing the next day still,
Because of the joy that their heart filled?
Did people prepare feasts and gather to rejoice?
The day after, they again heard their Savior’s voice?
I wonder how it could not be?
Surely, in wonder and awe, the day after was precious indeed.

Now we celebrate the wonderful event of long ago,
When our life was forever freed from death’s hold.
We rejoice our Lord and Savior spoke in our hearts new,
And marvel, He is alive not in the empty tomb!
Has the beautiful message of the resurrection of Christ,
To have only one special day set aside?
What do we do the day after the day,
Of celebration; surly the beautiful truth with us stay?.
He not only is alive He in health reigns above.
He also reigns within the hearts of all those He is a part of.

John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Celebrate Jesus

We celebrate His birth and give gifts to men.
The world has never received a greater gift than Him.
We remember the day He suffered and passed away,
With sadness and call it Good Friday.
The world passes candy bunnies and eggs colored bright;
On the day we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

Jesus died a horrible death to set us free;
He lived to pay the sin-debt for you and me.
He shined as Light in darkness as the Truth to show the Way;
He that gives us new life did not in the tomb stay.
He is alive and is now waits for all who will to come;
Into the Father’s provision; through the sacrifice of His Son.

There is a greater celebration that is soon to be,
When the One who lived to die, returns to His Bride receive.
The world indeed will one day know and will on their knees proclaim,
Jesus is Lord and God and as they bow their head in shame.

This is the day to crown Jesus as Lord and King of your life.
Let us celebrate together His resurrection and lift Him high in delight.
