The Message of Easter
I believe in the message of Easter
that speaks from beyond the grave.
I believe in the God Man who preached it
from inception to mortal grave.
I believe the divine intention
the soul of mankind to save.
I believe there was no action lacking
in the poignant message He gave.
I believe in His words never spoken
to deaf ears of mortal man
that conveyed with greater impact
the fullness of divine plan.
I believe His example to teach us
and our failure to comprehend.
I believe we must keep listening
for He promised to come again.
I believe we should ever be mindful
of His guidance from above.
I believe He is still portraying
His message of forgiveness and Love.
I believe that for mankind’s freedom
there was nothing He wouldn’t do.
I believe the injustice He suffered
was a reflection of me and you.
I believe it was not His trial,
but the trial of all mankind.
I believe it revealed how malicious is sin
and the effects it leaves behind.
I believe that the generous droplets
that flowed from His head to His toes,
were but proof of mortal enshrouding
of the crimson heart within,
that beat with a Universe message
that we belonged to Him.
No trial was too great, no rejection too strong
to tear us from His grasp,
and His Love will still flow from our head to our toes
I we will only …ask…
