Missing Someone At Easter

​

​

​

When you take the chance to love someone it gives you hope for days to come

​

Be it sunny days or trials you weather, life is sweeter lived together 

​

Yet this sweetness brings a pain, for life is never quite the same

​

When you lose someone for whom you care and with whom you hoped more days to share

​

I wonder what Jesus’ followers felt, when at His tomb with tears they knelt 

​

Yes He rose with Sunday’s dawn, but the in between was oh so long 

​

What joy for them, Resurrection Day, still He did not come to stay

​

But over death to Victor be, now and all eternity

​

For those who know Him hope runs deep, even through the tears we weep

​

The cross He bore was not in vain we know in Christ death does not reign

​

Still in between our losses now, and the day when every knee will bow

​

The in between can seem so long, Lord hold us in Your love so strong

​

Meet us in the joy we share and also we pray, meet us where

​

Joy and sorrow both are found, and make it for us, holy ground

​

Weep with us yet in our sorrow, lift our eyes to that bright tomorrow

​

Where no more will weep the soul, as your kingdom comes in full!

 

​

When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”  I Corinthians 15:54-55
