From Death To Life

By Elsie

A baby in a manger

Quiet in the cold

A boy in the temple

Teaching to the old

A young man preaching God's word

To every girl and boy

Miracles left and right

Filled people with great joy

This man was arrested,

Brought before the king

They plied him with questions

Though he hadn't done a thing

They led him away,

Put him on the cross

If he were to die, some thought

It would be everyone's loss

In the middle of the day

On that hill he died

Men and women both were sad

Many of them cried

Three days later women went

To look upon his grave

They went to perfume his body

Because of the life that he gave

An angel appeared to them

On that special day

He is alive! The angel said,

Pointing to where he had laid

The women ran to tell the others

All that they had seen

Then the man came and stood among them

It was like a dream

Raising hands and blessing them

He ascended to heaven above

This is a tale of a special man

And of God's great love

The story is a true one

It is very plain to see

For Jesus was the man who came

and died for you and me!
