Happy Easter, everyone! Glory to God Almighty!

What does Easter mean to me?
Why should my heart beat faster for the festivities underway?
Surely there has to be more than just chocolate eggs and colorful bunnies
Surely there should be deeper roots pulling the weight of the day

I never used to know what it was for
I went to church every Sunday as a child,
Yet my mind failed to understand the reason
My spirit was too far away from the things of God to care for the season

Now I kind of get it; I know I do
Now my soul dances in the field of this reality
My brain cells tingle anytime I hear the story
Did He really do it? Did He really die for me?
Yes, He did. But why for me?
Because He loves me and cares for my eternity
He’s here for me even when it’s hard for me to see
He cares for me even when I’m sinking deep
He has love for me, the kind of love I need

Crucified, on that cursed tree
Justified, He has set me free
Sanctified, He lives in me
Glorified, I will one day be

Praise the Lord, salvation has come to thee!
