An Easter Exaltation Hymn


 The song below is an Easter Tradition on this blog.
Join in this hymn and worship Him for 
He is not here but is risen!
 Matt.28:9


Trade your tears for exultation
Join the charge angels employ
Worship the God of salvation
Turn your grief to songs of joy

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven
Join creation with each breath
Gone the curse that ended Eden
Jesus triumphs over Death

Let the Love of He who loved us
Enough to offer His Son
To be sin’s sacrifice for us
Stir our love for everyone

Jesus lives; man’s sin forgiven
Broke the bondage of the grave
Saviour of the World is risen
Praise the One who came to save

“It is finished” ends His mission
Resurrection proves His Might
Turns the Hour of contrition
Into victory and Light

Trade your tears for exaltation
Join the charge angels employ
Worship the God of salvation
Turn your life to songs of joy

Once and For All

PAD Challenge 15:For today’s prompt, write a “one time” poem. 


And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
John 17:5

What horror bid Thee languish
Thou, Lamb of Calvary
That drew death’s goal from anguish
To glorious victory

What grace flowed from Thy sorrow
Perfection crucified
Once and for all; my Lord, oh
To break sin’s curse, You died

What splendor in submission
What tender agony
What mercy-bowed contrition
Didst plea for you and me

But rock could not contain Him
Nor locks restrain Hope’s Bloom
As ages still proclaim Him
The Victor of the Tomb

Once and for all, my Lord, oh
Man’s awful debt You bore
To save our souls from hell, oh
In death’s Forevermore

Once and for all; ah, Jesus
You took on form of man
Thou, who knew You would free us
Before the world began
