"He arose." An all too familiar saying, and especially on Easter Sunday,
And is often fogotten by the following Monday;
I ponder why this holds true,
Among so many who claim, "I know He arose for me too;"
Our Heavenly Father who sent His 'only' begotten Son,
Who gave His life so our battles in this world can be won;
Now, He's sitting high and watching as we live our lives in open shame,
As we walk the paths of darkness denying our Savior's name;
Oh! dear sisters, brothers, fathers, and mothers,
Come and stay with our Lord who has given us so much,
His love for us is 'real'... there is none other;
Our Savior is always near... we can reach out and touch;
After His death and His burial, the stone was rolled away,
He arose to bring us into His presence each and every day;
So, let us remember how much we're truly loved,
And, that He's waiting for us to join Him in our home above.
