"Now upon the first day of the week.... they found the stone rolled away.... And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.... Two men stood by in shining garments.... they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered His words" (Luke 24:1-8).
Remember the words of our Savior back when
He promised His friends as well as His foes
That on the third day He would then rise again:
His body was gone, for our Savior arose!
The world pretends that it never took place,
Forgetting the words that our Lord clearly said.
But historical facts are hard to erase:
The tomb is still vacant! Our Lord is not dead!
Early that morning, with joy and with fear,
The women arrived and were faced a question:
Why do you seek for the Living Lord here?
The stone has been moved to display resurrection!
Lord, on that day when those women arrived,
Their joy was abundant as never before!
So may we likewise today be revived,
Recalling that You are alive evermore!
