An empty tomb,a stone rolled away
Speak of the Saviour who rose Easter Day.
But that was centuries and centuries ago,
And we ask today "Was it really so?"
"Did He walk on earth and live and die
And return to His Father to dwell on high?"






We were not there to hear or see,
But our hopes and dreams of eternity
And centered around the Easter story
When christ ascended and rose in glory.
And life on earth has not been the same,
Regardless of what the skeptics claim.






For, after the Lord was crucified, even
The ones who had scoffed and denied...
Knew that something had taken place
That nothing could ever remove or erase.
For "hope" was born in the soul of man,
And "faith" to believe in God's Master Plan
Stirred in the hearts to dispel doubt and fear
and that Faith has grown with each passing year.







For the Hope of man is theEaster story,
For life is robbed of all meaning and glory
Unless man knows that he has a "goal"
And a "resting place" for his searching soul.
