EASTER
SUNDAY
This is the day the doves
returned,
The greatest day on earth,
The day the stone was
overturned,
The sign of man's rebirth.
This is the day He left
the tomb,
The day the angels hailed,
This is the day the lilies
bloomed,
The day to lift the veil.
This is the day that
Mary's tears,
Upon her cheek were dried,
The day the angels quelled her
fears,
By singing He's alive!
This is the day that
Christ was seen,
Walking on the road,
In the flesh - no, not a dream,
In a white and holy robe.
This is the day He spoke
aloud,
Hear, see, touch - He's real,
The day He rose up in the
clouds,
God's truths for man revealed.
