Thank You, Jesus




Written Easter Morning April 8, 2012

Thank You, Jesus, yes.
I own You so much.
You took away sin,
From my heart and soul.

You blessed me with life
Everlasting by
Your act at Calv’ry.
That act did free me.

I deserved to die
A spiritual death.
But God chose the plan,
One of sacrifice.

He sent You to us,
Knowing how it would end.
All I can utter
Is, “Thank, You, Jesus.”

Because of Your action
Of giving up Your will,
I have a sweet peace
About my own life.

You asked Your Father
To ‘forgive them’ ‘cause
They did not know what
They brought about.

Please, Lord, forgive me
When I mess things up.
Help me live rightly,
Live for You each day.

You chose to follow
God’s plan for Your life,
So that I might be
With You someday.

  3. Of all the holidays on the calendar, I love Resurrection Sunday. As the scripture says, without His resurrection we would be most miserable.

    Thank you for the beautiful thoughts.

      The older I become, the more I love Easter. I don't have the same stress at Christmas I had as a young mother. But at Easter, I can focus, fully, on Jesus.
