His bruised and smitten body lay quiet in the grave,
He gave His precious blood for me and all the world to save,
There are no words to thank Him, to give love in return,
God’s promise now fulfilled, within my heart does burn,
The words are ever etched within this heart of mine,
My sins have been forgiven, by God’s own Son divine,
I wait this Easter morning, with confidence and hope,
To see Him resurrected gives me a way to cope.
Sweet Jesus lying there, Your love will never fail,
I put my faith in You. No other can prevail,
Your grave is empty now, no more does death take hold,
The quiet sleep is ended, the morning light is gold,
I see your perfect body, in royal majesty,
I am redeemed by your own life, I’ve gained the victory,
That glorious Easter morning, when new life you did send,
For we who love you most, will never fear our end,
The scars in hands and feet, the wound upon your side,
Are proof to those who love you, that your Spirit never died,
You’ve risen from the grave, our debt for sin is paid,
We now we can sing our praises for the smitten body raised.
Beautiful poem,sister. He is risen, indeed! Happy Passover, sister Kathy. God Bless
