It was at Easter time nearly two thousand years
ago That a man gave his life to save other men's
souls For God so loved the world He gave His only
begotten Son So that His spirit would dwell within
the hearts of everyone
It was at Easter time
that they crucified our Lord They placed His body
in a tomb and then closed the door After three days
from the dead He did rise And ascended to Heaven
up in the sky
It was at Easter time that His
earthly mission was fulfilled He showed us how we
should live and the life we should build He paid
for our sins so that we might be set free He did
this for us and for all the world to see
It is
at Easter time that we remember these gifts He gave
How wonderful life would be if we recalled them everyday
Our burdens would be lighter and our worries would be
few If the thoughts of Easter would last the whole
year through
