Death has died!
Scream it in the streets!
Let the world know
The darkness is gone
The light has come
Death has died!
The unrestricted restricted Himself
To set us free from the chains
That have restricted us
Oh death!
Where is your sting?
Oh grave!
Where is your victory?
Alas!
The end has come! They cheered
Aha!
It is finished! He said
They thought it was over
They thought they had Him bound
But He could never be put down
By His strong hands death has died!
Oh death that scares the sons of men!
Oh grave that has swallowed up warriors!
What power do you have
To keep the one who is Life, dead?
Victory! He shouts
Bursting out of the belly of hell
With the keys of death in His hands
Death has died!
Shout it in the streets
Let the world know!
He is risen!
With an empty grave left in His wake
Nothing can hold Him bound
Not even the clenched jaws of death!
And as for you,
Rejoice!
For the victory won
Was a gift to give
Death was the bride price
To make you His very own adorned bride
Do not be afraid
Do not be sad
For your groom is alive!
And by His mighty hands
Death has died!

Thank you Mfon for this interesting reminder that Christ and not bunnies are the reason for the season. Once I started, I couldn’t stop till the end. I really love how you redirected the post to your own blog, it makes a lot of sense.

nice one, most people have forgotten the true meaning of easter, its like a celebration of goats and chickens. Jesus is the reason, there should be a celebration not sadness, a connection not uncontrollable parties that prove nothing, thankGod he died.
