- There were Easter eggs, and
bunnies too,
- not a bad thing to be taught,
- as long as we were sent to
church
- to learn of what God taught?
-
-
His Son died on a cross so cruel
- to save us from our sin,
- and rose to join the Father,
- A victory to win.
- We learned this from our
parents,
- we learned this from our
preachers,
- and back when we could pray in
school,
- we learned it from our
teachers.
- But, I must admit to
something,
- for I was not ashamed
- to welcome that old bunny,
- and colored eggs we’d claim.
- The family would come over
- after church let out,
- We kids would gather in the
yard
- with baskets strewn about.
- Then Dad would shout, “The
hunt is on!”
- and away we all would run,
- gathering every egg we found
- until the count was done.
- Mom would take the eggs then,
- and make them deviled—yum!
- She gave us chocolate bunnies,
- marshmallow chicks, and gum.
- The day was filled with joy
and fun,
- but when the meal was served,
- blessings and thanks were
rendered,
- Christ’s sacrifice undeserved.
- This Easter keep your family
close,
- and let Christ be a part
- for He is your Lord and
Savior,
- He lives within your
heart.
