Resurrection Sunday Poem
Life Death Resurrection
Life Death and Resurrection
Born the King of the Jews a price was put upon his head
Escaping into Egypt, they took him from His bed
From Egypt to the town of Nazareth, He was brought to Galilee
And while John the Baptist prepared the way, this is where He’d be
While John baptized with water, Jesus would with fire
For the Holy Spirit was of the Lord and was worth much higher
When John baptized Jesus, the Heavens opened, descending like a dove
The Spirit of God said, “This is my son, with whom I’m pleased and love.”
Jesus was in the wilderness and tempted by the evil one,
But all His trust was with the Lord. This battle He too won
Jesus begins to preach and to disciples He would call
He made them fishers of men to cast a net to all
Jesus healed the sick and many followed behind
For they knew He was a great one and formed a long line
He gave His Sermon on the Mount and great knowledge so profound
Perhaps many were in awe and stood there in astound
There is a cost to follow Jesus but the reward is so great
He came for not the righteous but sinners to change their fate
Jesus predicted three times His death, and His disciples did fear
But He knows that though death comes life to those who can hear
He was betrayed by Judas for thirty pieces of silver
Denied by Peter three times
They ate the bread of his body and the blood which was the wine
They spit in His face and tore His clothes
But it all had to happen for the death to unfold
Pilate washed his hands and gave Jesus to be crucified
But the Son of God cannot be denied
They gave Jesus a scarlet robe and a crown of thorns for his head
Put a staff in his right hand. “Hail King of Jews,” they said.
Darkness came and the earth shook
One cry from Jesus was all that it took
After His death He was wrapped in clean linen and put in a grave
They rolled a stone in front of it and went away
On the third day, He rose and went to Galilee
Those who saw Him were filled with joy and glee
It is here that we see all that the Lord can do,
For surely if He did this, what more He will do for you
