Easter Poems

The Night Before Easter

Twas the night before Easter and all through the land,
The demons were celebrating their bold crucifixion plan.
The Disciples were hiding, all huddled in fear,
Nervously won'dring if their end was near.
The children at bedtime were still asking "Why,
Such a sweet, gentle man had been sentenced to die?"
With moms getting ready to join dads in bed,
They tried to explain why Jesus was dead.

When down in the grave there arose such a clatter,
Old Satan was pacing, screaming, "What is the matter?"
He found the Death Angel and asked for the keys,
But they had been taken and his prisoner released.
And that's not all that to his wondering eyes would appear,
That his kingdom was conquered became frighteningly clear.

More deadly than serpents Christ's enemies came,
But He pointed and shouted and called them by name.
"Now Sickness, now Sin, Death, Poverty and Pain,
You are defeated! Don't you come back again!
To the Bottomless Pit, to the lake filled with fire,
Satan, you're headed, you thief and you liar."

Christ was dressed all in white from His head to His feet,
He had roundly defeated this master of deceit.
The sins of the world Jesus bore on His back,
Now He looks like the Champion, who's just spoiled their attack.
He sprang to His throne, to His enemies bade farewell,
And away He departed, leaving death and sin in hell.
But He would exclaim as they saw He'd survived.
Today's Easter! I'm not dead, I'm alive.

Hi PR, these are beautiful poems indeed. God has given the writers talent to write, I pray that they are appreciated, not just for the way they are written, but more importantly for the message that is being sent.
My daughter has written a beautiful poem, I would love to share it with you all, but at the moment it is pending copywrite. She is 13 and has such a wonderful talent not just for writing poems, but for composing music and playing the flute. I know that she will one day be able to bless many with her talents and most of all give God the glory and honor for her talents. As soon as we get the copywrite I will share the poem with y'all.
Love in Christ,
Maria

Amen Pastor Roger!

Brother, thank you for sharing these beautiful poems with us.

I love to think about and know that we serve a LIVING Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST. Every day is time to reflect on what JESUS did on the Cross for us. In all reality, HE did take our place on that Cross and suffer in our place. Much of the World doesn't recognize that Very God was crucified on that Cross about 2,000 years ago. They don't believe Who HE said that HE was, and they certainly don't believe that HE arose from the dead on the third day. HE ascended back to Heaven, and HE is just as real as we are. Christians know this beyond any doubt because the Holy Spirit of GOD lives in our hearts, and JESUS walks with us every step of the way in this short life.

Brothers and Sisters, every day is a good day to rejoice, praise GOD, and thank HIM for rescuing us from the curse of sin and death. A grave could not hold the ONE we love and serve. HE LIVES!

Thanks be unto GOD for HIS unspeakable GIFT!, JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Saviour forever!

Love In Christ,
Tom
